That is the problem with guns; any idiot can use one.
Today, it is all about guns. Whatever happened to the good ole days of fist fights??
I do not (and probably never will) own a gun because I have an extremely bad temper. If I owned a gun, it would be too easy for me to lose control and kill someone. Then, I would have no excuse when it came time for trial and I had to explain myself in front of a jury. At least with a fist fight, the jury could find leniency with me if I happened to hurt or kill somebody.
That is the problem I see with guns and people who carry them; it is tooo easy to lose control and use it. Especially with a lot of people feeling "dissed" over any little thing and athletes saying on tv and in the paper how they feel "disrespected".
People have to go through background checks now but I think they should also have to go through intelligence tests AND psychological tests before they can own a gun. I also think they should go through mandatory training on the proper handling and use of a gun.
