Those of us that are trained will, the best that we can, prevent another if we are around and protect our kids . . .

I'd love it if the only people who had guns were people who were trained to use them.

Here's the gun laws I would like to see. I don't think it makes me an anti-gun nut or an idiot:

Gun owners should have to have extensive training and need a license in order to own any type of gun.

Extensive background checks for anyone applying for gun license.

Even more extensive background checks for anyone applying for a concealed-carry permit. The permit should have to be renewed every year, with a new background check. No pertinent information about someone's mental stability should be off limits.

You should have to show a reason for carrying a concealed weapon, and "self protection" shouldn't be sufficient reason. My preference would be for no concealed carry at all. Why should I have to put up with a bunch of yahoos with guns in their pockets? (I'm not saying all gun owners are yahoos. I'm saying that any yahoo can get a concealed-carry permit and I think that's really dumb).

If your gun falls into the hands of a child, you lose the right to own a gun and you go to jail for a really long time.

No guns at all within a mile of a school, even if that's where your house is. Live somewhere else.

No guns in public parks.

No guns on public transportation.

Being in possession of a gun while drunk should cause you to lose your gun license.

Any violently threatening remark should cause you to lose your gun license.

Membership in a hate group should cause you lose your gun license.

Gun shows should be illegal.

A private individual selling a gun to another private individual should be illegal.

All drugs should be legal. Let's take away one of the main reasons for gang violence.
