Did I say that I support the "goofy prof"? No. Please retract. Fucking coward won't remove it from Schedule 1# but that damage was done along time ago when I had hair. I do support COMMON SENSE GUN CONTROL. You don't have a bunch of 10 years old kids driving around in a 2 ton piece of steel, right? Why the fuck is it okay to be able to own a gun without an age limit and proper licencing? That won't stop gun violence but is that too fucking much to ask for people that own guns to be properly trained and documented?
Re the "goofy prof", my apology, I made the assumption you were a supporter based on this comment: "As a gun control type liberal..." My bad, sorry if I offended you.
My point, the president does have the ability to re-direct his AG to reschedule. So far the magic man has refused, who knows, maybe just before he leaves.
Obviously a two year old doesn't have enough experience at life to use a gun. Does a 10 year old under adult supervision, there are some that do. This is a parenting issue.
Not sure what you mean by documentation, but there is a fair amount of paper work that has to be filled out at the time of a gun purchase.
Re training: there isn't all that much to it, charge the gun, point and activate. You do have to know what end the projectile exits. But there isn't much more than that. A wise person would know their liabilities/limitations and act accordingly. If you're implying that there's a lot of stupid people on this planet, you'd be correct. But you aren't going to fix stupid in a class. There's certainly nothing preventing a person from seeking out training on their own. And yes, like everything else in life, you get out of it what you put in. Practice is a good thing.
Btw, Obama's comments have the gun market burning like hot cakes ... again. If you don't have a gun I would suggest that you research one and make a purchase, if nothing else you would have the experience as a reference.
