Time for another gun control post

The gun insanity in America just keeps getting worse. Thousands of Americas are killed by guns every year. Enough!

The U.S. needs a federal gun owner's license required to buy handguns and ammo. To get the license should require giving finger-prints and photo. There should also be a requirement to take a gun safety training class. An untrained person with a gun is a huge danger to themselves and everyone around them. The U.S. also needs a strong Federal Assault Weapons Ban law.

Vote for candidates who have a record of real action on gun safety laws.

Here are some gun control groups to join and donate to:

@MrBrownstone They won't have a choice. The idea there is this huge black market for guns the anyone can access is part of the gun nuts fantasies.

The large majority of gun crimes are committed with legally purchased firearms.

@MasterLee You might not laugh if it was you, or people you know, who got shot. And it could happen . Think about it - the ass you save may be your own.

@badminton so dramatic. I am fully capable of defending myself and my family.

@MasterLee Shootings very commonly happen in public places; schools, office buildings, shopping malls, parking lots, churches, nightclubs, etc. A gunman opens up with an AR-15 or 9mm semi-auto pistols, with extended magazines, and sprays lead. People are hit before they even see the shooter. How do you defend yourself against that? Your concealed carry piece won't help you then.

@badminton Call the police and wait minutes
Majorsite · 61-69, M
@badminton Shootings usually happen in so called gun free zones !

Popycock!
It's illegal for them to bring their guns in those places!

@Budwick Wait! You mean criminals didn’t obey the law?
Baremine · 70-79, C
@MrBrownstone haven't seen one yet. That is why they are called criminals.
