I'd probably feel safer without "gun-free zones" (which do nothing to deter wrongdoers while disarming law-abiding citizens) and some of the current regulation, but I feel safe regardless. Granted, I don't like in a city where gun violence is a constant problem so I'm far less likely to be exposed to it. Otherwise I'm in favor of universal background checks. Mead posted...

Since then, you've had other federal legislation as well (including laws regulating gun materials so manufacturers can't make guns that can pass through a metal detector). That's not counting regulation at the state level. Unless you're talking about hobbyists who build guns on their own? Because just about anybody with a little know-how can construct a gun. Those usually aren't the ones used in illegal activities. If you're talking about 3D printed guns, that's something that needs some kind of regulation and, at the moment, there's --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| <cite>Aaantlion posted [p:925618228] in This was t...
