In all seriousness we need to have universal background checks, reference checks, and mandatory safety training before someone can purchase a gun. Too many wackos can get their hands on guns way too easy at this point.

Do you think there are more good people than bad people in the world? If so, don't you think a safer option would be for the good people of the world to carry weapons in preparation for a bad person's shooting spree? I for one would have no problem shooting any of the mass shooters of the last few years. Most of them were bad shots anyway. If I had a 357 magnum on the Virginia Tech campus, I could have sent Cho back to his ancestors much sooner. He was not a good shot, he just had a target rich and environment.

Are you retarded? What I suggest would only make good people have guns. The bad people wouldn't be able to make it through the checks. These are the same checks mosts jobs require but a gun store doesn't require them to sell an item that literally shoots death. You have to be stupid to even suggest the points I made would make it harder for good people to get guns. This is about mental health and what I suggest would prevent the mentally ill from obtaining weapons. Gang members and criminals are not the problem, those types of shootings have gone down drastically in the last 20 years this is entirely about the mentally ill. If your against anything I suggest, your are most likely not mentally stable. You probably are not in control of your emotions. You probably shouldn't have a gun if you are not willing to submit to a background check and have a few of your friends say: yeah he isn't crazy or on any crazy ppl medication Good sane people have nothing to fear from my suggestions. Only people who can be against anything I suggest are the mentally ill, which I think you are.

In all seriousness Ben Franklin was way smarter than you, please STFU.

Are you retarded? Where did Ben Franklin say anything against what I said? All I advocate is common sense. You have to be retarded to argue anyone of my points. All these downvotes yet not a single valid reason why anyone one of my points shouldn't be implemented. Its because you are retarded, you have no leg to stand on because your on the side of crazy killers, and you have absolutely no clue what your talking about in terms of history. Show me where Ben Franklin contradicts what I said you buffoon.

This is the only thing related to Gun control that Franklin actually said. I am pretty sure I know what part you are referring to so I linked the full context because you are clearly an idiot who has no clue what that quote is referring to.

In fine, we have the most sensible Concern for the poor distressed Inhabitants of the Frontiers. We have taken every Step in our Power, consistent with the just Rights of the Freemen of Pennsylvania, for their Relief, and we have Reason to believe, that in the Midst of their Distresses they themselves do not wish us to go farther. Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. Such as were inclined to defend themselves, but unable to purchase Arms and Ammunition, have, as we are informed, been supplied with both, as far as Arms could be procured, out of Monies given by the last Assembly for the King’s Use; and the large Supply of Money offered by this Bill, might enable the Governor to do every Thing else that should be judged necessary for their farther Security, if he shall think fit to accept it. Whether he could, as he supposes, “if his Hands had been properly strengthened, have put the Province into such a Posture of Defence, as might have prevented the present Mischiefs,” seems to us uncertain; since late Experience in our neighbouring Colony of Virginia (which had every Advantage for that Purpose that could be desired) shows clearly, that it is next to impossible to guard effectually an extended Frontier, settled by scattered single Families at two or three Miles Distance, so as to secure them from the insiduous Attacks of small Parties of skulking Murderers: But thus much is certain, that by refusing our Bills from Time to Time, by which great Sums were seasonably offered, he has rejected all the Strength that Money could afford him; and if his Hands are still weak or unable, he ought only to blame himself, or those who have tied them.

You are an idiot and the founding fathers didn't even want you to have the right to vote. Just because things are one way now does not mean that is how are political system was then and you clearly have no grasp on history or the founding fathers.
