Hi everyone, I have a few questions I would like to ask every one (this is for USA only)

1) Should guns be more difficult to obtain, and Why do you think that?

2) Should there be a longer waiting period than there is now?

3)Do you feel that "Civilian Assault Rifles", like the M&P 16, should be sold?

4) How do you fell about mandatory gun safety and training course? Should every one buying a gun for the first time be required to take one?

5) What is your opinion on Gun Control in politics?

Please don't troll on this, these are serious questions for my public discussion project.
answer honestly as well please
thank you

(1) no they are hard enough just because of the criteria you have to meet to obtain one already

(2) no. a waiting . Does not affect gun safety the waiting period is meant for background check

(3) yes. they made them so its not classified as an assault rifle with the bullet button max 10 round mag and single shot operations of these weapons.

(4)yes they should. guns are serious business that shouldn't be taken lightly and can cause serious damage is handled properly.

(5) I believe we're stands right now is where it should stay with minimum mag size bullet buttons and there's an extensive criteria that has to be met to properly obtain a weapon.

1) No, guns should not be more difficult to obtain. Acquiring a firearm, any firearm, should be a four-step process: the buyer, the seller, the weapon and the money.



2) No, there should not be a longer waiting period. There should not be a waiting period at all. Acquiring a firearm should be a one-day, in-and-out transaction.



3) Yes, I believe "civilian assault rifles" should be sold and in fact, there should not be an assault or automatic weapons ban at all.



4) There should not be a mandatory gun safety and training course. A person of legal age who acquires a firearm assumes all responsibility and liability that comes with its ownership. If this weapon is used to commit any crime or is involved in any incident, the owner of the weapon is liable in accordance to the law, unless the law finds the owner free of liability such as when the weapon is stolen.



5) I do not believe in gun control, the only gun control I believe in is holding the weapon with both hands. Gun control politics is just another political tool for politicians seeking public offices. These individuals could care less about crime and violence, they only care about their own personal agendas.

1) No. They are very easy for criminals to obtain illegally, so they should be just as easy for lawful people to obtain them



2)No. Same reason as #1



3) Yes. The founding fathers believed that the people should have the right to anything the govt has. The 2nd amendments primary purpose was to allow the people a last stand to overthrow the govt if it became to tyranical



4) No. same reason as #1. But there should be some incentive for taking a course, like a tax break or something



5) The 2nd amendment is pretty clear. There shouldn't be any debate, except for congress debating on amending the constitution.

1) No, because guns are easily made.



2) So be it.



3) Absolutely, military grade weapons that equal enough power to overthrow any military if needed.



4) Two words... Military School



5) Anybody who claims that our guns are for hunting... Or support taking away felons right to bare arms after they're free... Should lose their right to vote.



I also think that we're being lied to for profit... Hurry buy more guns and ammo! Run! Obummer is taking our guns away! The commies are coming! Buy more! Buy this... Obama isn't taking our guns away, your wife is.



I suspect a 1/4 of these legal gun totting citizens are more dangerous than we think. Perhaps we should consider revoking gun licenses?



It's obvious none of these laws matter to lunatics who are systematically executing people. I wonder if these Lawmakers aren't a waste of public funds. Either we provide these weapons or someone else will and we'll likely spend billions chasing it.



What I know is, no one can tell us what happens in the year 3092, for example. At a time when we might need these weapons and rights. No one can tell us aliens aren't going to attack us or why we'll have to defend ourselves.



Thanks for reading, I hope this helps.

2 - a longer waiting period is not going to do any measurable good

3 - yes

4 - i am all for mandatory gun safety classes, though, i learned from my father and uncles, who learned from their father and the military, who learn from their fathers and the military, who learned from...

5 - unavoidable
