As to my feelings on guns:
You cant have a total ban on guns, but to me nobody needs an automatic anything. Guns for the public should be limited to 6-shots non-automatic. Maybe that would give some people time to escape while maniacs are trying to shoot them, if the maniacs dont have a ton of guns on them, they will have to keep reloading, and reloading should have to be one bullet at a time, not a clip. The guns we have a constitutional right to have was because back in those days you needed a civilian militia plus most people had to hunt for foods. Those are basically not valid reasons anymore except for the few who hunt for food. I also think that the founding fathers wouldnt want the whole population to have the incredible weapons we have developed. So have your guns, but have a 6-shooter that has to loaded one bullet at a time.

I share your feelings on this but they are not realistic. How do you remove all the guns out there already that do not fit your 6 shot limit? Maybe we should make all guns fire gumdrops? Thats not gonna happen either.
We really need to focus on keeping guns out of the hands of mentally unstable individuals when the courts identify someone as unstable or violent any weopons they have registered need to be taken away! Gun owners need to stay proactive and keep guns and ammo under separate lock and key,if you can`t load it you can`t shoot it.
Gun owners need to ask themselves how would they feel if one of their guns were used and someone was killed with it! Take a look at how you keep your collections stored and see if security needs improving.We read about it all the time, a child plays with a gun shoots a friend or sibling,a stolen gun kills an innocent person ect ect ect there are too many different scenarios to list. I wouldnt want it on my conscience that I could have done something more to make sure my gun collection was as safe as it could be.
As most responsible gun owners know already gun education and safety with your children is very important as well!
