Gun advocates question?
Do you want gun laws to change? Are they too restrictive? Are you worried that not enough people have guns which would makeit easier for youto be a victim of criminal activities? What would you like to see change? What do you think about merchants banning firearms on private property? Are laws fine just the way they are?
This is under a few assumptions
1. that gun advocates simply want less restrictions. not that they be sold like candy at a grocery store
2. anti -gun advocates want stricter gun laws making them harder to get with class time,licenses, better tracking etc.
3. Most states probably require some type of license and \or training before acquiring said gun.
Personally I m pretty satisfied with current laws, but I would lean towards needing better accountability of weapons. Not making them harder to obtain

I do say we have the right to bear arms but all should be registered, when you sell a firearm that needs to be reported. The reason for them to be registered is for 2 reasons.
1) If one of your guns was used in a crime you should be held responsible if you did not report the gun missing/stolen or sold.
2) If the government needs more solders anyone who has a gun should be the first drafted. It does say in the 2nd amendment “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”

Gun control does not reduce violent crime, never has, and never ill. What we need most is criminal control, and for the liberals to stop coddling the criminals with their plea bargains, and revolving door prisons.
We could drop 19,500 of the over 20,000 gun control laws on the books in the US now. you want to reduce people from using firearm to commit crime? That is easy. For the first offense of a violent crime committed using a firearm, 25 years at hard labor in prison, no chance of a plea bargain, or early release.
For the second offense of a violent crime committed using a firearm the death penalty, and execution to be carry out within one month of a conviction, and no chance of a plea bargain. That will reduce violent crimes that are committed with a firearm better and quicker than another 100,000 gun control laws.
“Gun violence” is an intentionally misleading term that the liberal gun control bigots use to inflate firearm-related mortality. The largest source of deaths from guns in the U.S. remains suicides, although nobody would refer to other common means of taking one’s life as rope violence, bridge violence, or pill violence. Needless to say, the guns themselves are not behaving violently.
If the liberal gun control bigots were truly concerned with the safety of our children, then they would be whining about the dangers of swimming pools, cars, dangling cords, plastic bags, poisons, and flammable objects, as these things account for far more child deaths than do firearms. But they didn’t even mention these items because they have an agenda, and that is only gun control, not the concern for children.
Like most liberals, the liberal gun control bigots stand on the caskets of dead kids and asks for “common sense gun control”. These liberals don’t ask for common sense laws for any of the other deadly items, only guns and ammunition. This is how I can tell if a person’s argument is valid or not.

A car in the control of a bad driver is more dangerous and can do more damage than a gun in the hands of the wrong people, just look at car bombs in middle east.
In my opinion government should do a better job in figuring out how to make more difficult for criminals to get guns and make it easier for law abiding to get them, instead of just come with lazy restrictions for everybody that we all know would benefit the criminal elements that do not respect any rule of law
