Wouldn't it be more in line with your viewpoint to say that you have no control over your daughter and you are simply lucky enough to have a daughter that isn't hell-bent on screwing up her life?
Do you really think there isn't a single person who abides by laws simply because he/she doesn't want to run afoul of the government?
Crazy of me to think that somebody wishing to murder people would break the law in buying a firearm illegally.
All these laws will do is make it harder for the decent people to buy them. I am an honest guy. I have nothing on my record. I don't have any history of violence, drug or alcohol abuse, domestic violence. Why should I have to jump through hoops and go through mental examinations and long waiting periods or whatever else is being proposed to purchase another gun? I have plenty of guns already. Me buying one more isn't going to change anything.
Meanwhile anyone that wants to (including me) can get guns without background checks, mental health screenings, waiting periods, or the like...and you don't think that anyone that fears not passing the above or don't want to face the inconveniences of above wouldn't use those avenues instead?
