(39,171 posts)you really think all those police and politicians in all those pro-gun red states are going to have a change of heart and actually do that?

(42,641 posts)membership in a well-regulated militia, in this age the National Guard, should be a pre-requisite for gun training and ownership. And that does not mean that every Guard member could carry a weapon, except on duty.
Single shot long guns could be allowed for hunting, but only after a prospective hunter passed a proficiency test.

(1,332 posts)Yes. It should be repealed. It's not that someone cannot by a gun, they just have to prove they need it. Unless things have changed, in the UK if you're a farmer and need a rifle to protect your livestock, you have to say, this is why
I need it. If you're in a profession that might call fora need for a firearm, private inquiry agent, maybe government official, you have to prove you need it. If you're a victim of domestic violence or feel you need a gun for protection, you have to explain to the police why you need it. You can't walk down to the corner store, slap down $130 and walk away with an AK 15 or whatever it's called. No one's saying you can't GET a firearm, you just have to prove you need it.

(18,679 posts)By the Second Amendment except a complete ban of firearms. I have often been told such a ban is NRA lies and propaganda; no one serious about gun control wants to ban all guns.

Why do we care that much what they thought, especially since they set up a system that would change as social attitudes changed? What we think is more important.
