(17,493 posts)I see no problem with doing our best to insure that only honest, responsible, sane and well trained individuals own firearms. I have a major problem with another assault weapons ban or any program that would require honest gun owners to turn in some or all of their firearms.
Had the gun control advocates followed the ideas presented in the OP, we might have seen some major improvements to our existing gun laws today. Unfortunately they overreached and tried to get another assault weapons ban.
Now I realize that many will be greatly disturbed by my comments but I had great hope that we could make some real progress in our efforts to control guns.
For example I strongly supported universal background checks. I'm a gun owner and I refuse to sell any of my firearms to a person who:
1) I have not know personally for a year.
2) Is not a resident of Florida.
3) Does not have a Florida concealed weapons permit.
