As a left-winger (and Texan) I’d like to say I support the owning of guns in the U.S. However I think there should be a somewhat strict regulation of weapons. We need incremental background checks just like we have for driver’s liscences. I understand that it’s the “right” of American citizens to own them but I believe if we want a safe country that moves away from a culture of violence we need to make sure we have people who are educated on guns, with a regulated, required saftey training. I also think the law should be the same across the country instead of a state-to-state basis.

also fuck the mp9. [2]

Most of the gun violence occurs in low socioeconomic areas, as it has become a part of the culture in these areas. Also, there are over 20,000 different regulations both at the state and federal level already in the United States. I agree with the regulated safety training, but the problem is most of the gun violence occurs from people who have obtained firearms illegally so punishing legal firearm owners more isn't going to solve anything.
