Stricter Gun Laws

I've asked for years, what exactly do you suggest?

I have heard all kinds of horrible idea's like limiting number of guns, requiring licensing fees, registrations, insurance. All things that would infringe upon a right.

No one would support requiring fee's to register to vote or insurance to ensure your vote is accurate and not fraud so no reason they should be for guns either.

Background check fees are much like a poll tax too and should be removed and not added as a type of sales tax to fund it either. IN fact guns should not have sales tax of any type on them ever as sales tax on a right is wrong and infringes up on a right.

I'm completely open to free background checks or better yet, the same requirements to register to vote to be used to buy a gun. We keep hearing about how secure and accurate ballot registrations are so the same database can be used for both rights. That would be a good place to start.

Although personally I don't think guns is the problem I think its social media and a disconnect from society and not seeing others as people but instead targets and the enemy for those who live their life often online and do not get out and deal with people in person and if they do they stay with those in a echo chamber so the other side takes on an enemy appearance more and more and less human to them.

Add to the mix the fear that the other side is trying to harm or take something away from them, real or not will help to create a justified reason for it.

A good example is the CEO of United Health care where many liberals saw it as justified for a greedy corporation, very sad that so many saw it that way.

Mental health issues too, even with health insurance isn't very affordable. We complain about costs at hospitals and such as being too high but how is it with even great health insurance a co-pay to visit a therapist for a rape victim for example is a $100 a session, every single time? The insurance pays a great deal more on top of that, why isn't there outrage that those doctors are changing soo much just to do therapy?? (personal experience on this one.)

I don't see any way to disarm America and I'm not about to give up my guns because police are more than two hours away when I call them in rural America. I won't be left sitting around waiting to be raped and/or killed while I wait for them.

It is our own job to defend and protect ourselves as the courts have ruled decades ago that police have no legal requirement to protect anyone, anyone can look up those SCOTUS cases if they want.

The only way anyone is taking them is from my dead hands and there is millions of American's who believe the exact same as I do.

Several liberals have said that is just fine in their eyes to execute tens of millions of American's who won't give up their guns and they say it casually with no regard for life as they have no value to life to what they see as the enemy.

When I've had peaceful discussions in the past with Democrats on this, some have flat out told me to my face that I should ask the person with a gun trying to break in if they can please wait until the police arrive then we'll discuss letting them in or that it is my duty to die or be raped or attacked to ensure others do not die by guns, that it is for the general good of the public.

I know that is not an official platform just some crazy liberals I've talked to in person that do not speak for the rest of them.

There is crazy people out there on all sides and we must not cast a wide net, which is easy to do and throw everyone who identifies that way into the same catch. As it would be easy for me to say all Democrats and liberals think like these people I've talked to in person do as well.

I think the problem isn't the tool, its something is broken in society. You remove one tool and next thing we know there is going to be lot of people driving trucks through huge crowds instead, like Nice France (look it up if you don't know what I'm talking about.)

Lets work on fixing society and why people think its a good idea to go shoot others in the first place and address that.

We live in a world where people can 3d print guns, where they can make their own ammo and a good gunsmith can make their own guns too.

I'm all ears to reasonable idea's.

Some good ones I've heard though is teach about guns in public schools, teach gun safety and how to clean them. While doing all this can also focus on the value of life, how all life has value and that it is morally wrong to want to harm someone else.
