To me, the concept of hand guns in the house makes little to no sense, I do agree that storage laws really need to be upped and enforced, but the whole argument then becomes, if someone does break into my house, then it takes forever to unlock it and load it, its just as good in the drawer beside my best.

I think that a lot of problems would be solved if they upped the qualification required for owning a gun legally, that means absolutely no previous mental health incidences, no criminal record of any kind at all, and a back ground check that shows that you have a clean background.

I'm also of the mind that if you buy a gun you should have to buy insurance against it being used in any kind of activity that harms or possibly harms others. I would think that if you put that in the hands of an insurance agency that it would become pretty expensive.

On top of that, if you get caught selling a gun illegally or use a gun in a crime, its automatic life in prison, no parole, preferably at one of those State run prison farms.

Its just stupid and pointless, and the mind set has to change.
Just out of curiosity, are you directing this towards Canadian Firearm owners or American?

I only ask as there are quite a few hoops to jump through to get your licence in Canada. On top of that, anyone with a licence in Canada has a background check done daily. Every. Single. Day. If they see we have been charged with any criminal activity, our licence goes under review. Depending on the crime, it could me immediate suspension of licence and confiscation of firearms.

I really don't know what the Americans have to go through but pretty sure they have a much easier time. And I agree, that has to change.
