It's better to be safe then sorry

If I were to buy meat from the store it would cost much more then getting it yourself for one. Also guns aren't just used for hunting. For an example, my dad carries his small pistol with him whenever we leave the house and go on a hike or on a four wheeler trip because of bears and other dangerous animals so he can protect us. If he didn't have a gun in that situation then it would have been a lot worse.

I was just wondering because I live in Alaska and we may not have little to any mass shootings because there's so few of us, but we do do lots of hunting.

And yes Brayden I do hunt

I agree but what if someone bought a gun out of the city and then brought it in? And I know this is off topic but if you don't mind me asking you if you live in Alaska, Austin?

Agreed🤘

I'm just trying to find a way to look at both view points

I see your point, Robert when you say that guns with high fire rates and overly large magazines aren't necessary and I agree with you. On that same hand, how much do people legally use those kinds of guns? But on the other hand do we need to ban all the guns from hand pistols to hunting rifles to the big assault rifles? No we don't. You said it yourself that the guns used at mass shootings aren't pistols and other small guns or ones used at ranges or for hunting, and your very right. If we just get rid of the guns that are proven to be used by terrorists and not by the innocents then I don't see a problem. You just shouldn't ban something that's not being used illegally.

I believe that you should be allowed to buy and carry guns if you have a very specific permit that you have to take a lie detector test and a background check to get. I also don't think that banning guns will really help to control the crime rate, it will just anger the American that use them from hunting and other legal practices. And what about the terrorist that get them on the black market? We won't be stopping them, just helping them by making their target defenseless. Bad people will do bad things but you shouldn't punish the people that try to stand up and protect themselves and their families just because they own a gun and therefore might be a possible terrorist. You can't stop people from doing bad things but you can inform and prepare the innocents for what those people might do.

I would love to be an author but I suck at getting my ideas down on paper. When I do write my brain moves faster than my pen and my story end up with holes.

I also really want to be an engineer or a math teacher. Really anything that has to do with math or science.
