Many Gun Owners are Hidden Criminals and that's WHY I Support Gun Control Laws [View all]

The Statement of Purpose for This Board is

Discuss gun control laws, the Second Amendment, the use of firearms for self-defense, and the use of firearms to commit crime and violence.

Now here is MY Statement of Purpose for starting a discussion on this board

Gun control advocates seek ways to PREVENT criminals from gaining access to guns. Fact is MANY gun owners illegally own guns. Gun control advocates want laws like more effective waiting periods for background checks, like better reporting procedures and sharing of information between gov't agencies and more.

Let the discussion begin.
