Mostly yes. A major problem is that SOOOOOOOOO many people who are PRO gun never get off the fat lazy asses to go vote down the bullshit restrictions and laws in most areas. They’re the first ones to bitch and complain when things are too tight, and the last fucking ones to get in line when it comes to actually taking a stand.

That doesn’t help when it seems these days that 95% of govt officials are hell bent on putting an end to civilian gun use and most of them have never picked up a firearm in their life. They make generalized laws and regulations that affect the whole and really don’t do dick in the long term, yet never focus on the ACTUAL problems associated with handing out permits.

The main problem is there is really no logical way to make it better. We are human and humans are flawed in ways that nobody can ever 100% define. You cannot give every a psyc exam, and even if you did then what? How can you without a doubt guarantee that information is going to do anyhting against FUTURE events that may happen in that persons life? You simply can’t.
