I'm not opposed to gun control. Outright banning guns? No. Of course we need regulation, in fact, California's regulations are fairly stringent and I don't quite see the issue with them. People who have been convicted of a violent crime have already proven their lack of respect for the safety of others, they shouldn't be sold a gun. I believe that when you infringe upon the rights of others, you effectively become untrustworthy.
However, I have mixed feelings regarding full-auto weapons so I'll just hold back on this part. I don't agree with the way gun control legislation is being handled and I don't agree with the "you don't NEED it so it should be illegal" argument, nor do I take the "well you people (presuming that everyone that disagrees with gun bans/the Democrats version of gun control is a staunch, Conservative Christian Republican) want to regulate vaginas but you don't approve of regulating guns?" argument very seriously when I see it.
I'm interested in seeing where this legislation will go and until I've done my research and heard what they're proposing, I'll sit down for now so as not to talk out my ass. If we can't ensure a rational law protecting our safety that doesn't blatantly trample our rights at the same time, I can't support it.
Full-auto weapons aren't really legal, they were banned a while ago. Very few people have them, you need a mega-license from the ATF and it has to have been manufactured and properly registered/transfered prior to the ban.
