We are not saying that every idiot out there should own a gun - and there should be better background checks on guns. Not everybody should have the right.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most Americans think there's already universal background checks. They don't understand why there wouldn't be a background check to purchase a weapon.
Should we have background checks, waiting periods? To drive a car you have to pass a test that shows you know how to drive your car safely, you should have to do the same thing with guns.
In my opinion, the only people who should have handguns are the police.
There are too many guns in the hands of people that shouldn't have guns. There is too much gun violence in America.
Millions and millions of people are proud gun owners, and they do it responsibly and by the law.
Unless they're a fugitive or a felon, or adjudicated mentally ill, we're not against them buying guns at all.
If we are going to be serious about enforcing the law, we have to have a background record check system to make sure that people don't get weapons who shouldn't.
I don't believe gun owners have rights.
You can't really escape the fact that more reasonable gun regulations and procedures need to be in place, a strengthening and tightening of the national background check system. I don't know why any civilian would ever be able to purchase an assault weapon or the parts that go with it.
Obviously, we think it's important to make sure that firearms do not get in the hands of people who are criminals, convicted felons or adjudicated as mentally ill.
