Do you want to end up like cuba?
Weapons should only be in the hands of trained people. That includes civvies with training.
I feel that more education on the correct use of firearms is needed, far more of lax controls.

Up until 1934 it was legal for a 10 year-old to buy ANY weapon including full-auto Browning machine guns in the USA. You'll note there were NO school shootings and virtually no misuse of firearms by kids before that time.

Yep my grandpa said that he used to take his rifle to school to go hunting afterwards. We haven't changed, we've had to adapt and lose our rights to satisfy the 3rd world and the liberals.

An average 10 yr old today is completely different because of his PARENTS and the system. You are barely allowed to raise your voice at your children now let alone discipline them. Kids that age today are far more disrespectful and mouthy and just plain bad than they were even when I was a kid. Its REAL hard to raise a respectful kid today, some of Adam's friends at 11 yrs old call their parents by their first names, they are 'friends' not parents anymore....oh and he KNOWS better ;)

Excalty my point things are every different today, people need to stop wanting the past and work out how to fix the future.

I agree. Kids today are a waste of space. But that's my point: It's not the guns that are a problem........it's our society. The children of dirt-poor, disposessed, unemployed share croppers of the depression era had better manners, morals and values than the children of doctors, lawyers and industrialists do today.

Well, the doctors, lawyers and industrialists are all very busy people with very important careers. You can't expect them to waste their precious and valuable time on something as petty as raising their children. That's what third world nannies are for.
