It's absolutly ridiculous that I at 18 am legally able to go buy a an assault rifle, but yet am not legally able to buy a pint of beer at a bar or pub.
The logic behind that is absurd. |

It's also absurd how you can vote for our elected officials at 18, and drive at 16, yet not drink until 21. |

Ok, even if handguns become illegal to have, what about hunting rifles? You can kill someone with those just as easily as you can kill anyone with a regular gun.
But in my opinion, the problem is that american laws are too indifferent on who gets to own a gun. If there would be extensive psychological examination before giving a gun to someone, it would insure people who are not capable of wielding a gun won't have one and still the person's right to defend would not be violated. |

I think that it would be a lot harder for someone to carry around a hunting rifle to committ a crime and certainly a lot more conspicuous. I don't think gang members would start walking around DC with hunting rifles and if they did it would be a lot easier for the cops to identify them. I know that if I DID see a criminal walking around the streets with a hunting rifle, I would realize that he was a criminal and run away. However you don't know that someone is carrying a handgun and is about to rob you until it happens. |
