Jon Voight: Americans Should Undergo ‘Proper Testing’ for Gun Ownership

Actor Jon Voight reacted to the deadly Uvalde, Texas, school shooting by suggesting that Americans should undergo “proper testing” for gun ownership.

On May 28, 2022, four days after the heinous attack on Uvalde’s Robb Elementary School, Voight posted a video to Twitter and said:

It’s not about left right, guns no guns, this about brains that are disfunctioning, this is mental. This is not about healthy human beings serving the country with arms to bear or even the right of this constitution for bearing arms. It is a right to use arms with proper purpose to defend one’s safety, we must not allow mental illness to take away our right to bear arms.

Voight then spoke of those killed by the gunman, saying “These innocent souls…are children of God. I must remind us all that God will take home these angels.”

The Oscar-winner then posted a second video, in which he said, “We must identify every individual for their credentials for their mental capacity to bear arms. There should be proper qualifications for gun ownership, and proper testing. One should only own a gun if they’re qualified and schooled.”

With only 3 dozen mass shooters in the last 30 years, isn’t it obvious that we’re not going to puck those people out of a lineup of about 500 million?

Registration is a joke. They won’t identify shooters, and they’ve never had trouble finding the weapon.

So, why punish the 499,999,964 people who have not been mass shooters?

Answer: the socialists want to take your guns.

If you can’t be trusted to be armed you should not be running around loose.

Seen many folks I would prefer NEVER be near a firearm butt, not my call. Not to mention I’ve known 6 suicides with a firearm and 5 of them were not just friends in passing. Also a friend’s son due to a negligent shotgun discharge. 😕
