The Gun Control Thread!

[Alcon]

I believe strongly in freedom with responsibility. One of my baseline views is that we need more freedom, but we need more accountability. Here's the gist:

I think that we should be wary of gun control. I believe it is constitutionally protected. However, at the same time, some things that people do are unacceptable. I support waiting periods. That doesn't stop people from owning guns. I support strict registration standards. Anyone who really wants to own a gun should be able to get one. However, we need to not become the McDonald's of assault weapons.

In any case, I believe that people should be able to have guns. However, anyone who keeps their guns unlocked with children in the house deserve what their idiocy sews. If their kid brings a gun to school, they should be punished. Their kid should be punished. If their kid kills another kid with it, or themself, they should be punished (of course, excluding suicides or totally unavoidable situations.)

I'm typing this while watching T.V., so it probably doesn't entirely flow. Sorry about that.
