I understand why this person could say this, but it doesn't defeat the fact that people who own firearms will still use them for the wrong reasons, and people can still get guns from third-party gun traders and resellers. This has always been an issue and likely will always be unless the US decides to take action and prohibit casual gun sales. Knowing how to handle the gun doesn't mean you can't use it for bad.

Yes, people need to be trained, and owning a gun is your constitutional right, but you also have to realize there are bad people in the world. We as Americans need to look out for people who could potentially be dangerous with a weapon.

while it makes sense it should be more balanced as everyone has the right to the second amendment but must be a bit regulated to reduce the amount of gun violence and shootings.

Even if someone answers all of those questions right they could still harm someone or harm themselves, no test is going to tell you if someone will be safe with weapons... LYING IS A THING!!

Do you think that people should own nukes if they are properly trained? If no then you agree there should be some restrictions on weapons and we need to figure out where that is. Though I agree with you for the most part some guns shouldn’t be allowed to the average person.

I agree with this because they just hand out guns when people have the money and are above a certain age. They need to do background checks and require a class or a course to limit any danger happening.

Even well trained people can have previous offenses with guns, or have a history of mental issues or other factors that could affect them in the future. If they become mentally ill as a result of these issues that could have been inspected in the background check, that puts people's lives at stake if they would still have access to a gun simply based on the criteria they know how to use it.

i think that there needs to be an intense background check before anyone buys a gun. iwould perfer for there to be no guns at all,but we are in the U.S and we have a lot of freedom so its just not going to happen.

I do not think that gun restrictions should be relaxed. I anything, they should be stricter. Perhaps consider background checks and more testing of mental state before allowing them to purchase a firearm.

I think we should focus more on who the gun is being sold to, rather than the training they have to go through.

I think people should have their 2nd amendment respected, but if possible, voting should be held on setting mental health tests in place in order to get a gun license.

Regardless of training and tests, there is a high chance that somebody will lie through and use said firearm for illegal purposes. It is needed to place more restrictions over firearms regardless of status, results, etc.

I think that the restrictions are not enough and more laws should be implemented with a stricter age limit.

Just because someone knows the proper way to handle a firearm doesnt mean they’ll use it appropriately or follow rules

When I think of gun control I believe that everyone has their own 2nd amendment rights to guns. I believe that you shouldn't be a criminal and there should be background checks up everyone is entitled to conceal carry.

Open carry laws should not be banned because the number of deaths each year due to gun violence is more than most other countries in the world. Laws should be place that protect policemen's rights and other trained officials' rights; however, another alternative is if they ban everything besides small handguns and hunting rifles—no ARs, no AK-47s.

If the restrictions for gun control were relaxed, then there would be the issue that there would be more acess to these weapons, causing more shootings, especially with how much negitivity is currently happening within the government currently. Even if there were tests to make it so that everybody knew how to handle a firearm, it would still allow for more access to the weapons. Though guns shouldn't be counted as illegal, making the restrictions for them shouldn't be relaxed because this would allow for more people to get access to them and possible hurt a lot more people.

I think everyone needs to be above the age 25 to get a gun because peole are getting out of control and people mental health just isnt the same everybody crazy.

I feel like people especially dealers or state government should implements laws and have checks and test to see if you are responsible and on the right mind for a gun.

There should be more protection when buying and using a gun, because all of the school shootings and unnessecary deaths.

Anyone can buy a gun which is not a good thing because a gun could kill and a freewill to buy a gun could cause more deaths

i believe that people who have a documented mental illness, such as depression or a series of crimes, should not own a gun, which if they do get the gun, they could harm themselves or could harm someone else or mutiple people depending on the situation.

I agree restrictions should be relaxed to have the innocent people be able to defend themselves but they should be well-trained. The tests should be more on a mental check to make sure the purchaser isn't mentally ill.

Gun control should be way more restricted and the government should provide money for public and private schools to have metal detectors.

anyone can pass tests. that doesn't mean they are qualified or knowledgeable, case in point police officers.
