Not to hijack the thread but this is an interesting question. How do we define an 'arm'? Is it limited to something one person can carry alone? A cannon?Shall not be infringed" means just that. I should not need a government permission slip, nor pay a tax to own a Canon or an automatic weapon or any other arm.
This ^^.Many crimes that are felonies are non-violent, have no connection to the violator's propensity to commit violence, and therefore when their sentence is completed they shouldn't be denied the right to keep and bear arms again, because they've never been a physical threat to anybody in the first place.
It should be against the law to STEAL THEM.What is a reasonable gun law? What is reasonable to you may not be to me. Majority thinking does not make it reasonable. Gun safety and use should be started in school! I don't know what age would be the best to start but we need to start in school teaching a firearm is a tool not something to fear. I ment a grade school teacher that was so against guns that it was very hard to not shake her till some since came to her. I then realized what each thought was reasonable was a 180 apart.
Sorry for the rant!!!
Are you more dead if killed by a gun than a brick? What if the gun is empty and the just beat you to death with it?The only reasonable firearms related law I can think of is: Punish those who use firearms to murder, rob etc... quickly and severely.
Ah, no.Should be a law that All Children are to learn Firearms Safety in grade school.
Should be a law that ALL Adults are to learn Firearms Safety when they Register to Vote...Bill.
I’d support having the national guard offer training courses for citizens and offering trials of different types of common firearms so they know what they use best. I could get behind my tax dollars going to something like that.What is a reasonable gun law? What is reasonable to you may not be to me. Majority thinking does not make it reasonable.

No thank you.I’d support having the national guard offer training courses for citizens and offering trials of different types of common firearms so they know what they use best. I could get behind my tax dollars going to something like that.
I’m not too attached to the details but I’m thinking if the government wants to be involved in guns so bad it might as well be in service to gun owners instead of the crap they’re pulling now.No thank you.
You think the national guard knows best?
You think the national guard wants or has time for that burden?
It'd turn into the worst gov't controlled most inefficient possible way to train people. Except for the making the list part, that would be very efficient for them.
That's all just bigger gov't.
That's also no different than most police aren't really gun guys. National Guardsmen might be warriors, but that doesn't make them trainers.
Besides that, a short course like that just leads to overconfidence, no different than bubba who is a perfeshunal because his daddy had some rifles.
Private sector FTW.
Agree with what you're saying, but it really should start much younger in the home. When do we teach our kids not to touch a hot stove, or stick objects in an electrical outlet? This should be taught when they are old enough to be mobile.It should start with all kids between 4-9 y.o. getting the Eddie Eagle (or similar) program. Teach it alongside the 'Stranger Danger' programs. It teaches kids what to do if they find a gun: Stop, Don't Touch, Run Away, Tell a Grown-up.
Even the most Rabid anti-gun parent should be able to recognize the sense of this (but of course they don't).
