It's just that simple. Most of the Americans in this thread will not entertain/get on board that the access to firearms needs to be restricted. What else is there to say? |
I'm someone who enjoys gun sports. I don't personally own any, but my Dad does and when I move back home I will certainly own some firearms.
That said, I despise the NRA and their all or nothing view of guns. I think we DO need stronger gun control laws. I think some categories of firearms should be banned.
I guess most folks are afraid of the ol' slippery slope. Most Americans have always been brought up with an inherent distrust of government.
All that said, I do believe that there is an inherent danger in certain entertainment that can cause a disconnect from reality and if that kind of entertainment isn't monitored by responsible parents it can have disastrous consequences.
