Just curious: do you believe requiring people to register to vote, or requiring an ID to vote, or denying children the vote, is taking away a civil right? What's wrong with similar requirements for gun owners?
Pu.
Let's see...don't you have to have an ID to purchase a gun? Age laws in effect for gun purchases are there not?
People certainly should be required to register to vote.
If gun laws are all that is needed to decrease gun violence, could someone please call Chicago, Detroit and NYC and let them know immediately!

I guarantee you that some on here believe the government should be providing "free" air transportation to the "less fortunate" in this country. Along with their phone, healthcare, home, electric bill, etc.
Freedom of the individual does not exist in a vacuum. We have to accept the risks of that freedom in the context of the community and the world we live in.
It is sad that no one likes to discuss the REAL reasons why there was an attack in the first place. Gun control would not have stopped that from happening.
Pushing political social agendas while ignoring the real reasons.....will only result in more death. It always has in history. When a people lose their moral compass and turn to government to deliver to them, they are already lost. And you know what they say about history.....
