In reply to the discussion: Judge To Conservatives Who Tried Closing Abortion Clinics: What If We Did That To Gun Stores? [View all]Major Nikon
(36,814 posts)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.

Seems a large chunk of anti-women's freedom to choose folks are gun-lovers too.

Actually, I made it first-over a year ago: "A judge in Alabama gets it about abortion and guns"

It's not 'easily defeated' imho ... the INDIVIDUAL right was established by Heller in like 2005 ...

Ask them why they choose to ignore the "well regulated militia" part of the Second Amendment.

I believe the idea is not to use this "meme" against the ownership of guns as much as it...

The point was, one set of restrictions is just as odious as another
