I live in texas.I grew up with guns but my father is one of the most responsible gun owners I know. He owns about 4 handguns. He has the legal permits to carry concealed weapons and has had the proper safety training. My dad doesn't hunt but owns guns because he enjoys going to the shooting range. I think this is perfectly fine. I don't believe in taking away people's firearms but I do believe we need more responsible gun owners like my father in terms of the law. I don't think people on the no fly list should have guns nor do think people who receive federal funds for mental issues should have guns. I also don't think people need assault rifles outside of a controlled environment like a shooting range or for the military/ top law enforcement officials. Something seriously needs to be done about the gun laws or else people are going to keep dying. I believe in 2nd amendment, however, it needs to be limited to self protection and hunting/ recreational purposes.
