In reply to the discussion: The root of all problems with guns [View all]GreenStormCloud
(12,072 posts)27. Anyone who has been convicted of a violent crime should be on the NICS list.
At present, due to age, he can't legally buy a gun. His GF should press charges against him for hitting her. And laws on who is on the NICS list should be broadened.
But that is no reason to try to take my guns away from me. I am now a senior citizen and have been around guns for my entire life with no problems.

I demystified firearms for my stepson, as my stepfather did for me at age 10.
