As a child, I had much more access to guns. Heck, I could have even mail-ordered them if I wanted. No permits, no background checks, nothing. You can't do that today. Guns are much more regulated. If access to guns causes crime to go up, How come the previous generation was not so violent? How come non-gun crime tracks so closely to gun crime? Hint - its the criminal. >You don't belive change is needed with respect to guns. Others do. Then start by repealing the 2nd Amendment. But till then, leave us alone.
