I support the Second Amendment but it gives us the right to bear arms, not the right for each and every one of us to carry assault weapons and kill our brothers and sister. Change the age to purchase any weapon to 21, and if parents buy their children a weapon of any type then they can be held accountable. Any person purchasing any style of assault weapon or automatic weapon should have to have a full background check performed. If you have anything other than an honorable discharge from the military, the reason should be of public record. Private sales should have to be reported to the Federal Government and should have to abide by all state and federal laws. Many politicians say that having stricter gun laws will not change anything, I ask, then, why do countries with strict gun laws have less gun crimes? Any felony that includes the use of a fire arm should prohibit that person from ever owning a firearm again, and is reason enough to search a motor vehicle when pulled over for a legitimate reason.
