Why can’t we have guns in the hands of law -abiding citizens, but do everything possible to keep them out of the hands of criminals? I would wait 3 days to get my gun if I thought it could prevent just 1 criminal from getting a gun. We do not even have background checks for most of the guns sold in the US. I just found your site and really support the right of self defense, but wouldn’t self defense be easiar if we could keep guns out of the hands of criminals. Please held me understand the issue.
