17. Not a bad idea really

If I can't buy a bottle of booze after a certain hour or on Sunday, why should I be able to buy a gun?

States should restrict gun stores that don't offer safety courses, trigger locks, etc. Gun store employees should be trained and certified on relevant gun laws so that they don't sell guns to people who shouldn't have them. Gun stores should be restricted from areas near schools, playgrounds, or other areas where children congregate in case of accidental discharge. Before anyone is allowed to buy a gun, they should be required to listen to alternatives to owning a gun like better locks on doors and windows, security systems, dogs, neighborhood watch, leaving access to the home locked at all times, adequate lighting, etc.
