Supreme Court To Take Up Right to Carry Firearm Outside Home

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

I’m not sure how you could keep guns out of the hands of criminals and irresponsible people if you don’t make law abiding, responsible people jump through a few hoops. How would you know who you’re allowing to have a gun?

Let’s say - hypothetically - OLB and I are both buying our first gun. OLB has never broken the law (at least not seriously) and gives no indication of irresponsible behaviour. Yours Truly, on the other hand, is a reprobate of the first water who has a long and colourful history of doing things that would make a sailor blush. Other than hoop-jumping by both of us, how is it going to be possible to determine that OLB would make a good gun owner, while I shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a firearm?

Oh come on....

You give theists shit all the time for trying to get you to " disprove god" - and here you are using the same tactic....

You CANNOT prove who will be a good gun owner IN THE FUTURE.

You can only prove those unlikely to be good gun owners BASED ON PAST ACTIONS.

Of course. But I don't see any other way to improve the situation of the wrong people having guns. I think having more thorough background checks might help sort out some people who shouldn't have a firearm. Based on the hypothetical above, you would be more likely to be a better candidate for gun ownership than I would.

Just so I can better understand where you're coming from, could you outline the hoops law-abiders have to jump through to purchase a handgun where you live?
