In some states, there are ways around the "validation" because of the
gun show loophole, which must be closed.

Why? The 1st amendment isn't limited to those who pass a background
check?

The validation process isn't stringent enough if card carrying loonies
like Krause can get themselves validated. But sadly, closing the gun
show loophole won't prevent professional murderers and other armed crime
doers from obtaining the tools of their trade.

If we stopped law abiding citizens from owning guns then it will just be
the criminals and government with guns.

Ya but I don't want every Tom Dick and "Harry" running around waving guns.
I didn't say we should prevent sane, responsible people from owning guns.

Pssssssssssst! You! Yeah, YOU!

In case you didn't notice, right now, every Tom, Dick, and Harry (Or Jose,
Raul and Tyrone) are running around "waving guns" AND shooting them a lot,
too. Fear and death dominate a lot of streets in America right now. So,
why the focus on people who buy and own guns legally, even though they may
not be totally qualified to do so? Any guy can buy a gun on the street, and
not know the first thing about it. Taking guns away from citizens is only
the first step in total government control. After that, there's a shoot to
kill order for anyone with a gun. Which will decrease but not eliminate
criminals with guns. If all guns magically disappeared tomorrow, humanity
would then go to knives, baseball bats, tree limbs, or whatever. But not to
worry. Big Purple Lips would create a government beaurocracy to study it
for five years and deal with it, just like they've solved every other
problem they've undertaken.
