A little reality check poll here....

There should be NO restrictions on ownership or carrying of firearms concealed or otherwise for law abiding citizens. Period.

Use of the firearm should be regulated. i.e. You can't shoot the firearm in an unsafe manner or use the firearm in a crime etc. Period.

The whole reason that this is an issue is that it is in the Constitution. Just like the ACLU fights for the rights in the First Amendment. Pragmatically, Gun Control on limiting possession and carrying has been ineffective as research has shown. The only laws that have helped are stiffer penalties for gun misuse.

So there are two reasons why it is impractical and harmful to society in general to have gun control as it pertains to ownership and carrying of law abiding citizens.
