Point 5 says 61 percent think it’s too easy to get a gun. I tend to agree. If you can’t pass a background check and demonstrate proficiency I don’t think you should have it. Now, if you can have it, I agree you should be able to carry it. Concealed.
If you gotta strap a gun on your chest and walk in Walmart that’s either intimidation OR you’re too dumb to be carrying in the first place… But that’s another topic for sure.
I mean, as long as your “common sense” argument isn’t “ShALl nOT bE iNFriNGeD!”, no matter what it’s a step in the right direction.
Passing a background check and even a proficiency check is not exactly a high bar. I’d prefer both but I’d settle for the former. It’s pants on head stupid that to get my lifetime concealed carry permit all I had to do is give money to get finger printed and then I’m in. That’s borderline negligent IMO.
I think what is left out of this post and needs to be shared is the amount of Americans who support common sense gun control.

“Common sense” comments imply that your take is reasonable and the opposition’s is not. Automatic argument winner! Think on that.
