Question of the Day: Who Should Own a Gun?

Robert Farago - comments No comments

TheFireArm guy’s video starts with “If you know me I support . . .” and then quickly and seamlessly segues to “however . . .” Sound familiar? It’s the ISSAB approach to gun control. Its adherents assert that “I support the Second Amendment, but–” followed by a list of conditions on gun ownership that so infringe on Americans’ constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms. In this case, the FireArmGuy lists five types of people who shouldn’t own guns: dumb you-know-whats, Rambo wannabes, safety-challenged gun owners living with gangbangers, alcoholics and drug addicts, and people who don’t train/clean/spend quality time with their firearm. Maybe so, but I take the position that every American should be able to buy a gun without any preconditions. Regardless of what gun control advocates or The People of the Gun consider appropriate. What’s your take?
