>I’ve been shooting for decades, so yes, I know they can’t legally leave the shooting range with the gun.
That goes for anyone; excepting the gun’s owner. / Wow, theft being a crime; who knew!
>But that leaves more opportunity for mischief than I think is necessary.
Oh come on; if someone is determined to kill someone [including themselves] it’s likely they’ll attempt it regardless of the legality with whatever happens to be around, be it anything from a rock to a gun to a car to a plane crashing into a building.
>What is the problem with telling a crazy person or felon you can’t rent a gun?
Because the label ‘crazy’ could be applied to anyone who is concerned for their rights; Lord knows that’s the undertone I read from my father when he asks why I like guns & am concerned about the right to keep and bear them.
Also, what about misdemeanors being ‘upgraded’ to a felony?
What about the mere allegation of ‘domestic violence’ being enough to abridge the right to keep and bear arms?
What about ex-felons, people who served their full sentence; shouldn’t they have FULL rights and privileges restored?
>Why are you so determined to vindicate the right of a crazy person or a felon to rent a gun?
Why are you so determined to strip that from people?
“Because the label ‘crazy’ could be applied to anyone who is concerned for their rights; Lord knows that’s the undertone I read from my father when he asks why I like guns & am concerned about the right to keep and bear them.”
We already have a law preventing them from buying a gun. Why should they be able to rent a gun if they can’t buy one?
