I don't feel bad about asking that there be mandatory training, licensing, tracking, limits on who can buy, etc.
Which is fine, until some criminal breaks into your house and steals all your guns. Now what? Your trained, licensed, tracked, and limited purchases are now in the hands of someone who not only meets none of these specifications, but is actually likely to do something with them! (and yes, my dad had this happen - so it's not a hypothetical argument for me)
I don't do the "guns are evil" thing, but I do know they can kill a heck of a lot better than knives or sticks.
Pipe bombs are even easier to make than guns, and in a crowded theater or bus would probably kill even more than a single person armed with guns... which is exactly what was happening in Israel/Palestine what, 15 years ago?
Do you have strong feelings/opinions about gun control?
