[split] What is next for the United States? [GUNS]

RE: [split] What is next for the United States? [GUNS]
I don't see how firearms should be the only industry that gets a pass. If I own a restaurant, and my customers are constantly getting food poisoning I cant argue, "Sucks to be you, nobody told you to buy my food." Boeing, " Yea you trusted us to fly you, but what are you going to do, shit happens".

If I made or sold firearms, considering that they are not toys, I'd do everything within my power to insure whomever I sell them to legally, even if they have no record, that they are not going to get stupid or be dangerous.

Just like if I owned a restaurant, I wouldn't say to my cook, " Fuck it, I don't care if it is raw, just sell it, I need money."

3 events, in my life, looking back at them now, made me realize I should never have a firearm.

1. My drunk dad who legally bought his firearms, and had no criminal record, shot his 38 with me in the room.

2. As a teen, in that same townhouse basement, shot a 22 rifle at close range, at a tea kettle cylinder, one of those tall ones with a dispenser nozzles at the bottom. I had put two phone books in, and saw the damage it caused. It pierced the metal and went through both phone books putting a dent in the back of the kettle.

3. My attempt at making it into the Air Force. I washed out and not because of the physical aspect of it, but the mental aspect of not being able to handle being yelled at from 5:30am to 10pm every night. But with the firearms, we took a day to target shoot at different distances. I failed miserably.

But most importantly I suffer from anxiety and depression. Now while I would not hurt someone else. I do think about all the bad days I had as a teen and in my early twenties, and how easy it would have been to call it quits.

Some people should not have firearms, and I am not ashamed to say I am one of them.
