if ANYONE on the street could just walk in and buy a gun like a pack of cigs, the world would be a little bit tipped on the wrong side. When I think about how simple it is for someone to get their hands on a firearm that means for me that a mentally unstable person could potentially abuse the power that is held, with this much power to obtain there must be a restriction, strong background checks, long process, etc. I do like the feeling of proctection and I understand how obtaning a firearm can make someone feel safe when needed. I am not COMPLETLY against the idea of guns, there just needs to be enforcement to insurance it is in the right hands.
