Bill Introduced to License Firearms

[BgMc31]

[QUOTE=jimmyinkedup;4413933]i own ALOT of guns - mostly rifles and shotguns but several handguns as well. I have a permit to carry a concealed weapon ...and i think its BS - i nned to pay to license my guns (rifels , shotguns) ive owned for years - have them be counted and accounted for by the government - the same government this law was designed for the people to be able to protect themselves and ensure protection potentially FROM , that government ???...
Has anyone seen the patriot act abuses that occurred...its scary ..its BS and its unconstitutional ...just like this bill. Period ...end of story....[/QUOTE]

Why, because you say so? I agree the Patriot Act was unconstitutional, but many felt it wasn't. So we've traded one unconstitutional bill for another, both in the name of safety? I think the Patriot Act was way worse, but that's my OPINION! Having lived in high crime areas before in my life and the fact that I went to 14 funerals before the age of 18 because of gun violence, I can understand the point of this bill.

Honestly brotha, they were a combination of both. Many of the guns were guns taken from parents cabinets. I'm sure many were bought/sold illegally. Trust me, I understand the argument that criminals don't get their guns legally for the most part, but gun ownership is a HUGE responsibility and shouldn't be taken lightly, nor should just anyone be able to own one. Look at the Virginia Tech massacre and the Columbine massacre. Both done with legally purchased firearms. The lonewolf who shot up the Jewish children's school did so with legally purchased firearms. The list goes on and on.
