Do you support any type of gun legislation?

Do you think there should be any type of gun legislation, and if so, what? This question isn't limited to whether or not you want to ban guns, so to the people that want more lenient laws: should you need a permit? Should automatic weapons be legal? And should there be background checks?Do you support any type of gun legislation?
In a word or two: Hell No!



Personally, I would prefer that most governments be banned from owning guns. They have proven over and over again that they can not be trusted. Banning any form of instrumentality only guarantees it will be more popular. Instead I would love to see crime banned, but then we'd have a lot of unemployed politicians.
"The right to bear arms"



I do support that because it is constitutional. The only problem I have is there are no clear restrictions on "who" should be able to purchase a gun. Yes we all have the right to bear arms, but I do think at some point background checks should be apart of the equation. You have some who buy guns for the wrong reasons. Having a gun isn't a problem but it can be a problem if you are mentally unstable. Bottom line? Have background checks for all who want a license and who want to purchase a firearm and I mean more extensive checks.Do you support any type of gun legislation?
I do not support any form of further gun control whatsoever.

I would support more open carry laws, and concealed weapon handgun laws, permitting both across the nation however.



Automatic weapons are currently legal with special federal license. The nation already has background checks to buy a firearm (most firearms). Permits are required (in most states) to carry a concealed weapon.

I would be for making the legal burden lighter for gun sellers and consumers in all of these regards.



The nation, at various times in our fairly recent history, had none of these restrictions.....and mass murder was not the norm (as some might imagine by lessening these restrictions).
Background checks have never proven to reduce crime. Why bother spending all the time and money for something that doesn't work? In fact according to the Center for Disease Control, after nearly 100 years of gun control they cannot show that any gun control measure reduces crime. On the other hand, some of the most in depth research on guns and violence in the US shows that the more guns in the hands of law abiding citizens, the less crime there is. Over the last five year violent crime has come down every year and gun ownership has gone up.



So yes, I'm for legislation that make it easier for the law abiding to own and carry guns. Support S.845 written by Senator John Thune and HR.1620. If passed into law, every state would be forced to recognize any other state's legitimate concealed carry permit.



I don't think I should be forced to abandon the best means I have to defend my family and myself just because I cross some line on a map.Do you support any type of gun legislation?
No, but it doesn't matter.

No matter how many laws are passed, the fact remains:

Sancho "Bloodripper" Martinez on the corner of Crack Street and Vine doesn't do background checks and is more than happy to overlook my felony charge.

Turns out he also sells cocaine.

Funny how those laws didn't work either....
I am pro-gun all the way. I am okay with background checks, because law-abiding citizens can still get firearms even with background checks, and that is my biggest concern. That is about it as far as regulations need to go.
yes, background checks and I also think that if a gun is used in a crime, that person should be locked up for no less then 10 years no matter if the gun was fired or not.
Yes.



When the U.S Constitution was written our founding fathers were not thinking about Joe Schmuckatelli being able to walk into a gun store and walk out with an assault weapon without any regulations.
Maybe nuclear weapons and biological weapons. MAYBE.



I trust total stangers more than the government.





No gun legislation at all. All gun legislation means is someone can have this defense, just not you for whatever reason.
more bacground checks but less restrictions and the return to full auto ownership less restrictive......baron

I support 2nd Amendment, which IS gun legislation of sorts.
If you want to carry a gun, you should have to pass a fire arms course. That's about it.
Gun control is "shooting straight."
Yes, until we have a ban similar to the Japanese and the British we can expect to continue to have among the highest rate of murder by gun in the world.
I'm a gay man and a democrat. I think guns care scary and should be outlawed
