6. I am an unusual gun owner I will admit.......

I only own 2 shotguns and 4 pistols. Not a collector.

I 100% believe in CC and all states should have it. But I would like a lot more training and proof of some type of basic skills. Also, the information about when to shoot, not to shoot, etc is helpful. Open carry is stupid IMO.

I have no issues with registering my guns as the government knowing about my guns does not worry me. No way they collect them and no reason they would.

I think all sales, even private and gifts should require a background check.

And no law beyond banning guns will stop a lone nut from killing a few people.

So any order that does more background checks is OK with me.

But stolen guns more than cover the murders by guns every year. So not much will change.

I think the reasonable concern with registration is mission creep. NutmegYankee Jan 2016 #18
