i like it that way. it preserves a reasonable level of freedom pertaining to my second ammendment right.

It's a double edged sword on that man. I agree that as long as there is no criminal history to prevent someone from owning or carrying a gun, everyone should be eligible. However, I do think that there should be mandatory training in order to purchase a gun, and that should be coupled with mandatory recurring training.
Jesus, the things I've seen people do with guns simply amazes me. It almost seems that a large population of gun owners traded their common sense in the purchase. Especially if you are planning on carrying a gun, should take the steps to properly educate yourself on the skills needed to use it without taking out half a city block while trying to defend yourself.
