and to everyone who replied. I do think Jolly's bill makes an effort to allow the individual an appeal process, but I agree lists are not the way to go. On principle, I oppose our list and related legislation (Canada).

I can understand gun enthusiasts have guns for hunting, practicing, competitions?, collections, but the reason that disturbs me is the need for self-defence. I hope that's not as widespread as it sounds. Here, we have inter-gang violence, but most people don't have an awareness of personal safety.

I think the vast majority of gun owners are responsible, but people who shouldn't have guns will unfortunately still get them by some means. I do wonder what is the purpose of the rifle used by the Orlando killer? that is, in the hands of a responsible owner, what's it used for?

On it's face seems to be a reasonable proposal.. virginia mountainman Jun 2016 #1
