If someone is too dangerous to own a gun, they should be behind bars.

Let’s face it, some people are convicted felons because they filled in a tiny pond on their own land. I would have no problem with those people owning firearms.

People convicted of non-violent crimes should have their constitutional rights restored.

Don’t be ridiculous.
Check ANY anthropological site—the vast majority of hominid remains succumbed to what we would call HOMICIDE.

Young people were taught to respect firearms, how to safely handle them, and to shoot competitively at targets, not to take pot-shots at their fellow man.

This would help with the small number of accidental shootings (kids getting their hands on loaded weapons), but as for "not to take pot-shots at their fellow man", forget it.

That line was crossed long ago and is fixed in place by the Left's blatant disregard for life, beginning with unborn life.

That and the Left's approach to crime and punishment is the prime reason ghetto kids would just as soon shoot each other as play basketball together... with probably a nod towards first-person Doom gaming desensitizing them.

If someone is on the no fly list for a good reason, deport them or lock them up. If they are on there for the wrong reasons, take them off the list.

That way you don’t have to even worry about who’s buying guns and who isn’t.

Were either of the jackholes who killed those people in SB on the no fly list?

If I were a college president, I’d call the NRA, set up gun safety and pepper spray safety classes and I’d get everybody armed up. I’ll bet the money I’d lose from the leftists would be more than made up by people who’s minds aren’t completely polluted past all hope of education in the first place.

I think your enrollment would go through the roof.

If you live in the Land of the Free, and you are not armed, you should be. IMHO!

We’re all Neanderthals now

mostly Chicago, St Louis, Baltimore, and the like. In Cali the sleeper cells are beginning to awake.

Gun grabbing is unconstitutional, there is nothing to discuss with those who refuse to except that.
