What is your problem with being licensed to own a gun? And this is aimed at not just Bels, but everyone else who said they would not. (Harley, Dill, Mmichaelsean, Cupcakes, Bfine, etc)
Right now when the police encounter a person with a gun they have no idea if that person is a violent convicted felon or mentally unstable. And if that person has no ID on them it is impossible to find out.
Then there is the issue of people who have no clue how to safely use a gun possessing one.
Seems to me anyone who cares about keeping guns out of the hands of violent criminals, people who are mentally unstable, or people who have no idea how to safely use a gun would be in favor of a gun license.
