since we're on the topic of guns, why is it so easy to procure a firearm? It's an interesting debate to be sure and I would like to hear more opinions on this issue.
It would seem that crimes of this nature are increasing in frequency, and yet there are no apparent restrictions on the purchase of these items. Yes I've heard of the common remark that guns don't kill people, people kill people. We're ultimately responsible for our own actions but being part of the human race would make us ultimately responsible for everyone & everything on this planet. Alot of people are mature enough to handle the responsibility of owning a firearm (for the purpose of recreation, hunting, protection) but there are just as many people that are not mature or stable enough for that responsibility and it would seem to me that this same group of people may even outnumber those that are responsible. When do you finally say enough is enough and remove firearms from the picture? And if you can't do that why can't laws be enacted that make it difficult to own a gun, limit gun purchases (limiting purchases to 1 gun per month seems a little ineffective), place vigorous procedures in place that make owning a gun a serious responsibility with improved firearm registration, licensing & testing procedures, annual & bi-annual license renewals in conjunction with safety testing. Make it a chore for people to own these items so that only those that are serious enough about it will continue with it. When do we finally stand up & say that we value all of our freedoms but we must value the freedom of living safely with our families and with each other over the freedom of owning a gun? Is it human nature to destroy ourselves & the environment we live in? It is just so sad to hear about these people who were killed and how their families have been tragically hurt by these events, I wish there was more that we could do to stop these senseless acts from happening in the first place.
