So why do you oppose laws that would require every gun owner to be trained and licensed and have every gun registered to an owner?
Driving a car isn't a constitutional right, is it?
Quote:Even you admit that a large portion of gun crimes are committed by people who had someone else gun. So doesn't it make sense to make gun owners be more responsible with their guns.
No, I think we should increase sentences for the criminals who steal them.
Quote:If all "lawful" gun owners are so responsible then how do these guns get in other peoples hands without ever being reported stolen?
How do you know they weren't reported?

Then accuses others of "spin".
Disingenuous must be in your DNA. Is a person who hangs themselves killed by a rope? Is a person who intentionally overdoses on pills killed by the pill? Or, is a person who kills themselves killed by themselves?
Lumping suicides in with "gun violence" which is the term they use, and you conspicuously did not, is a blatant attempt to inflate the number of homicides in this country. It's a lie, and it's a lie that's told intentionally.
