(17,493 posts)I have no problem attempting to be fair. I understand that many American's disagree with some of my positions just many many disagree with yours.
Of course I should point out that I see absolutely no problem with a licensed individual carrying a firearm into a church or a retail establishment. Nor can I see little value in limiting the number of firearms a person can buy in a given time frame such as only one per month.
I do favor many existing restrictions on firearms ownership but some states such as Illinois and California have what I consider to be unreasonable restrictions. However I do believe that the choice of what restrictions are imposed on gun ownership should be up to the voters and legislature of the individual states as long as those states do not violate the federally protected right to keep and bear arms as ruled by the Supreme Court in McDonald v. Chicago.
I find the firearm laws in Florida to be extremely reasonable although I'm certain that you would disagree. For a quick summary of these laws visit: http://crime.about.com/od/gunlawsbystate/p/gunlaws_fl.htm
I also have no problem with the current federal restrictions on automatic weapons, however I oppose laws the prohibit the sale and ownership of semi-auto "assault weapons."
