As I said yesterday I am not against people owning guns, but I am for background checks with a waiting period. And this should be a comprehensive look into the background and mental state of a person who is going to buy a firearm. Also there should also be a better way to monitor the purchase a firearm at gun shows, as the following video shows.
I have had personal experience with a person who should not have been allowed to purchase a gun. My youngest son who had a real problem losing his temper and striking out at anybody and anything that he thought disrespected him. He would go from being a calm passive person to a all out rage in a matter of seconds, most of the time for no reason at all. And he was able to buy a handgun, over my many objections. Thank goodness he never did strike out at anyone with this gun, except himself as later on in his life he took his own life with this guns he had purchased.
Like I have mentioned I think anybody who wishes to own a firearm should be given the opportunity but lets look at the person and make sure they are not going to hurt themselves or anyone else. Lets just be smart about it.

And like I said yesterday Uncle Willie, in all likelihood the only people I am ever going to come across in Australia with guns are the Police.
I just can't see any reason why anyone would want or need a gun, unless their neighbour also has one...

"I don't care about the background check."
There's a good American for ya. Real stand-up member of the community.
Oh yea, backround checks are for wimps. That is real scary if you ask me.
