    It would be a crime to disarm the people,

    Some people should be disarmed (domestic abusers, felons, people who fail to prove themselves capable of safely owning a gun), and some people shouldn’t be disarmed because they are safe gun owners. That isn’t a crime, that’s common sense.

    Cant have the people able to defend themselves, right?

    The chances of a gun saving your life are minimal, and are far outweighed by the fact that everyone having guns increases the need to defend yourself in the first place.

    I don’t have a problem with people (idiotically) owning guns for “self protection”, but a minimum you should be able to prove you can safely own it and use it.

      a minimum you should be able to prove you can safely own it and use it.

      We used to have those kinds of laws. They were called Jim Crow laws.

      Also, that’s called a poll tax, and it’s still considered racist today.

      But of course, that’s what gun control is, isn’t it? Racism with some good PR behind it.

          Theres an argument. Hell, requiring ID, like a drivers license, to vote is considered racist.

            That’s not what I’m getting at. Motor vehicles, being a dangerous tool that can lead to deaths, they require a level of training to safely operate.

            Is it racist to require people to have drivers licenses to drive? Is it racist to take then away when people prove themselves incapable of operating them safely?
