”If you stop and think about it, it’s kind of crazy to suggest guns should be available with no regulation at all. “

I think you are confusing regulation of guns and regulation of minors. Did our Founders believe that we needed federal laws to deprive minors from purchasing firearms?

When I was a kid I bought 22 ammunition from a corner grocery store. Today in Kalifornia I have to pass a background check to buy ammo. We live today in an era of extremely low expectations. This will not end well.

I mean, you’re either in favor of some regulation of firearms, or you’re in favor of absolutely no regulation. If you’re in favor of no regulation, that means you’re in favor of:

- Felons being able to purchase and carry guns.
- Anyone being able to purchase fully automatic weapons (which used to be the case in our country).
- Minors, even 5-year olds, being able to purchase firearms.

I’m not in favor of any of the things above, which necessarily means I’m in favor of some gun regulation. If you are, I certainly respect your opinion, but I disagree with you.

This is worth repeating:
