    I completely agree with you on everything you said. I would say that out of every gun owner I have ever met, I would say less than 10% of them have the emotional temperament to own a gun, let alone the ability or the knowledge to keep it safely locked up.

    There should 100% be tests, and you should need to have a license to even own a gun, and almost no one needs to own one. It truly is absolutely ridiculous how easy it is to buy one in the usa. I don’t understand why anyone is against gun control other than them owning stock in gun companies ir the nra ir not giving a shit about other people.

    And can I just say I don’t get why people are so quick to downvote my other comment for what seems like no reason at all.

      Because every gun owner thinks they’re a responsible gun owner. Everyone is until they do something stupid and to act like you aren’t capable of making a mistake is naive. The problem is your mistake has deadly consequences. You can make the same argument for cars except driving isn’t a hobby in the US its a need. Like you said no one needs to own a gun.
