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:

@Rhode57 How are gun laws working in Chicago?

@MrBrownstone You mean those very weak, fragmented gun laws? Actually criminals just cross the state line and buy all the guns and ammo they want. That's why we need federal gun safety laws.

@MrBrownstone I am in uk and as much as I hate the uk , I am glad they have strict gun laws as its stops innocent kids being murdered in schools . Yes we have knife crime but its no where as bad as the weekly gun murders of kids in schools in the US .

@badminton You live in a fantasy world where criminals obey laws. You need to sit this one out.

Liar. You're simply regurgitating the same lie Obama told about people in Chicago crossing into Indiana to buy guns because the laws aren't as strict.

Do you even understand that the buyer of a firearm is subject to the laws of his or her state of residence? Purchase the firearm out of state, and then it is transferred to an FFL in the buyer's state of residence, where the background check is run, and the buyer is subject to that state's laws. Yes dufus...that is how it works.

@badminton Again you ignore the mass part of the shooting

There are hysterical people here who really believe there are school massacres here every day
