    I understand where you’re coming from. Used to feel the same. But now I just think my right to walk into Bobs Bait Shack and Firearms and buy a rifle is worth less than people’s right to not be shot on the street or in school by people our mental health system has failed.

    Everyone will come down on a different side of that. But I think it’s a good discussion.

      I just don’t see how making lawful gun ownership more expensive prevents bad people from doing bad things with guns.

        It has nothing to do with the expense, it’s the training. I agreed with you that the training should be free.

        Raising the bar for entry makes it harder for everyone to do anything with a gun. I just dont care if “good” people are affected, because there is no societal good from them having a gun. There is a societal good from preventing bad people from getting a gun, and if good people have to be affected as well so be it. Get a new hobby if this ones too expensive.
