there need to be more stringent laws regarding gun control. i am not liberal, i know there will always be guns, but this is just a polarized issue to begin with it is not simply that people are uneducated on the subject. however the simple fact that many of the illegal guns especially in the past precipitated when criminals would burglarize homes and steal them is a serious problem. owning a gun is a responsibility and those who choose to own and carry them should be scrutinized when consequences ensue from them. Gun ownership and storage needs to be more strict; proper locked storage is a must. Therefore the constitution should be amended that if you own a gun and someone steals it, and a crime is committed with the weapon, the licensed owner should be subjected to the same crime in court. If I own a gun and choose to store it outside of a locked gun safe, and someone breaks in and steals it, i should be 1- fined, 2- be required to report it immediately to the proper authorities, 3- lose my right to bear arms for life. also, if a murder is committed with the weapon before i report it, i should be charged with murder also. The simple fact is that many gun owners aren’t aware of the consequences. A strict penalty is not the only answer, but it is One definate way to shape up gun control. I am all for background checks, and CC permits i just believe there should be laws prosecuting registerd gun owners should malfeasance occur.
