Yes, require strict background checks, psychological testing, and training

They should have a psych exam and go through multiple training and handling courses. They should also not be allowed to own a gun if they have any red flags in the background check. You should also get references from people outside the family.

They should take a psychiatric exam and undergo various training and management courses. They also shouldn't be allowed to own a gun if they have something wrong on their background check.

They should have a psychiatry exam and have to go through multiple training and handling courses. They should also not be allowed to own a gun if they have anything wrong in their background check.

well weapons should be used for hobby, hunting, and self defense. thoroughly psych evaluated, intensive training. Deep background checks. And Psych Evaluations every year.
Also no military grade weapons.

Stricter background checks, along with psychological evaluation and training provide not only better gun safety knowledge, but also can result in more time for any suicidal or homicidal persons to reconsider or be found out.

Running these background checks gives more info on how the individual acts given that you can see wether to sell or not sell the weapon to the individual

You should have the right to own a firearm granted with High amounts of restrictions on what type and round capacity exc

The system at which someone acquires a gun is currently extremely flawed. The intention of the founding fathers and the needs of the modern people are insanely different. There is so much wrong with everything involving gun law, and no one can seem to make heads or tails of it. The bottom line is, civilians do not need access to assault weapons, and the process of acquiring a weapon that can so quickly end someone's life should be much more difficult than it is right now.

Many people will say that "guns laws are only a deterrent, we need guns to protect ourselves.". How many…  Read more times, I ask these people, have they needed to fire and kill a man with a gun? When you are protecting yourselves using your guns, what are you protecting yourself from? An intruder, with a gun? An active shooter, with a gun? Not all violent crimes committed are using guns, but the lack of regulation will only increase the number.

Most events with gun violence are usually caused by characters with mental illnesses like PTSD, schizophrenia, or anything that causes the individual to have a skewed perception of reality. People must be trained in proper gun use, as well as background checks- if the character in question had a violent history with gun violence, why would you give them another one unless they're properly trained?

By doing background checks, it can be determined if a person should be fit for the use of firearms. For example, if a background check is done on a person with a criminal history, that person can be deemed unfit because their history shows the firearm could be used for criminal purposes. Psychological tests can also determine if someone is mentally fit to own a firearm. As shown in the past by events like the Columbine shooting, some people are simply mentally unfit to own a firearm, and by owning a firearm, they are dangerous to themselves and others. Training to own a gun could be as simple as gun safety training, many accidents have happened due to untrained people mishandling firearms.

Gun Control has been proven to be effective. We also need to completely crack down on illegal guns/ghost guns in the country and create HARSHER punishments for those who commit crimes. Furthermore, lets close these crazy loopholes that ALLOW people to purchase a gun while their background check is being viewed, this could've stopped a mass shooter.

Majority of people purchasing a gun use it for sport or recreation. Now, this is to say that most of these people have sufficient mental and psychological health, so it should not be a problem for there to be required background checks and psychological evaluations, in order to prevent the wrong people from getting guns. No assault rifles/military grade weapons should be sold to the public. Past felons could possibly purchase guns, but depending on the crime, as well as all past felons wanting to purchase a gun go through the same background check/psych evaluation, as well as taking additional tests to prove that they can have a gun.

if there are any red flags in the background check then the purchase should be canceled, also require a strict psychological test to make sure they're are no signs of mental instability that could cause them to become reckless or violent with a firearm.

Safety should always come first. We need to do whatever we can to make sure guns end up in the right hands. It is extremely dangerous to blindly give someone a gun due to all the bad possibilities of what could happen. We are the most transparent country in the entire world when it comes to guns. We also have the highest amount of deaths related to gun violence in the entire world. This year, we have had more deaths related to gun violence than all of the countries in Europe combined. Statistics have shown that countries with stricter gun control laws have fewer deaths related to gun violence.

some should not be allowed to own a gun if there is anything wrong with their background check. many training and psych exams should be required for a gun.

Majority of shootings are done by people who commit suicide right after. Now we should ask our selves how can they can buy a gun. We should require more strict guidelines to prevent people with mental issues to obtain a gun.

My stance on gun control is the correct stance since this means the mentally ill wont have such access to firearms and the non-mentally ill will have the proper training to understand how to handle the firearm and will help prevent accidental shootings.

Several gun incidents are from psychological issues and also tend to be offenders from other charges

there have been way too many active shooter incidents and mishandling of guns in the U.S. there needs to be training to accidents dont happen so often and psychological tests so weapons arent given out to those who are clearly unhinged.

Supporting strict background checks, psychological testing, and training is vital for effective gun control. Studies show that countries with comprehensive gun control measures have significantly lower rates of firearm-related deaths. Background checks can prevent individuals with criminal records or mental health issues from accessing guns, reducing the risk of violent incidents. Psychological testing and training ensure that gun owners are mentally stable and proficient in firearm handling, promoting responsible ownership. These measures, backed by evidence, prioritize public safety without infringing on citizens' rights, making them essential components of a sensible gun control policy.

Foreign nations like Japan require strict mental fitness tests and tighter restrictions than America. Statistically, their mass shooting count is significantly less than the US.

If we were to have more strict background checks we can't really tell how it would go down, but we can predict, and those predictions show homicide rates with firearms going down 20 percent or more. Right now people have a basic 1 day background check to purchase a basic firearm, and most workers if they see the person as unfit to sell to, sell it anyways, because money is money. And big emphasis on the prior military veterans, not that they aren't trust worthy, but a decent amount of mentally unstable, and more likely to take their own life, which is still a very unwanted thing, at least to me.

Every year over the past three years there have been over 600 mass shootings in America. Access to guns is extremely dangerous for public situations. Because of the increase in school shootings, parents are scared and find it unsafe to send their children to school. In 2021, 48,830 people died due to gun related deaths.

They should have a psych exam and go through multiple training and handling courses. They should also not be allowed to own a gun if they have any red flags in the background check. You should also get references from people outside the family.

Background check for all people will seek to prevent firearm purchases by individuals thought to be at high risk of presenting a danger to themselves or others. And can prevent tragedies from happening in the first place.

You can clearly see in reports that gun voilence in the USA only incresing day by day and with this many mass shootings and school shootings not even the kids are safe even in thier school.

Owning a gun is a constitutional right, but there clearly need to be more regulations and steps to the process of acquiring a weapon. School shootings and other disasters might decline if people had to go through more tests and checks. Something that could end another human being's life is not to be taken lightly.

If people who purchase firearms are given training then they will know how to use the weapon properly, use it safely, and when to use it. If people who purchase guns have a strict background check then based on that check we will be able to learn if they've had a history of violence and if they are to be trusted with such a weapon. If people who purchase guns take a psychological test then it will be determined if this person will try to harm either themselves or others.

Many instances of gun abuse have been from people who shouldn’t have owned a gun because of their mental state, lack of discipline and training, and ex cons, or racists

The strict background checks prevents anyone with a shaky background to acquire a gun, protecting theorems and others. Psychological testing and training is key to this too because giving guns to people without the proper training and proper mindset leads to an unstable outbreak.

If you require strict background checks and psychological testing you ensure that people with ill-intentions are much less likely to get access to weaponry, and others know how to manage and safely use said weaponry

No, the phrase “shall not be infringed” is quite clear, however, we can still have laws that manage weapons better.

Requiring background checks, psychological testing, and training will prevent more shootings from happening.

With the amount of school shootings around the US almost anyone can obtain a gun when they turn 18 so a good background check and mental testing to see the purpose and mindset of getting a gun can help prevent that

I feel like our systems are violently too lax, and objectively bad people have much too easy of access.

More inexperienced and immature people who may have mental problem cause issues with gun violence. These tests would limit firearms out of reach to these people.

People who have ahold of a weapon need to get background checked. We must make sure that those who have that power in their hand do not abuse it and get trigger happy.

asking for background checks, psychological testing, and training can make a big difference and a better understanding of who you're selling the gun to and making sure it doesn't end up in the wrong hands

the best way to help with gun safety is to make sure that the people that get guns legally, they should know how to use it and be in the right state of mind when buying a firearm.

gun accidents are very common with people that are under the influence, PTSD, or mental illness because of this it is beneficial that we practice doing physiological reviews, background checks, and professional training. Suicides account for 54% of deaths related to firearms, while 43% were homicides

Although the right to bear arms is protected in the second amendment it is meant for a well regulated militia and not just any person who is not educated in gun saftey.

I believe there should be more background checking on those are who able to purchase guns. I also believe the age should be higher than 18 and have more background on people with mental illness. They could be more likely to kill themselves or harm others with a gun so it is only reasonable to make sure that will not happen. There should be no loopholes and the government should be able to check in to ensure the weapon is being used and cleaned properly.

for example in a job they dont get hired until they get a backround check and if their is something wrong with them mentally on the backround check it is taken into account when getting the job and that can save the company from making a big mistake the same way giving a gun to someone you dont know anything about can be bad especically not knowing where their mental stability is at.

Guns are a sensitive topic for a lot of U.S. Americans. I think that they need to go under loads of tests to prove that they are mentally stable to help prevent any further mass shootings.

There should be a psych exam. And there should be background checks to see if everything checks out.

For example, someone with strong depression often puts out a facade they are ok, this is applicable to many mental illnesses such as anxiety that could result in a violent firearm crime

I think this because a gun can be a lethal weapon and could harm someone if used in the wrong hands or in the wrong way.

Maybe not required training, but it should not be easy for a criminal to buy a gun especially if they are known for being violent.

Regular people do need guns when natural disasters strike and crime raises when criminals seek that opportunity to obtain more stuff. One of the checks on the government by the people is the fact we have guns to help protect us against the most deadly military on the entire planet, our own, when criminals come near you and pull a gun out on you demanding something unjustified, the liberty to self defense is evident, and when it’s a criminal male over a women, a gun can make all the difference evening the odds. In fact in Finland has one of the world’s lenient gun laws, yet has ver…  Read morey little crime, despite ranking among the top 5 gun to person ratio, they have different law involving licenses, yet are pretty lenient gun laws, so it’s not loose gun laws but loose culture that needs to change. Also most weapons used in mass shootings are handguns that were illegally obtained. Criminals clearly do not follow law, so why should they now? Those criminals even had many warnings signs and needed help and understanding. No one wakes up and just commits mass murder, it is premeditated and usually die to some trauma and suffering not properly treated or addressed. That’s a failure on society, not guns itself. A gun is a weapon used by malevolent and benevolent actors alike. So are we going to crack down on gun liberties on millions of law abiding Americans because of a few bad actors using their mostly illegally obtained weapons? All Government is untrustworthy, incompetent, corrupt, and ineffective, and to protect the people from their fellow citizens, other governments, and their own government, guns make sure there can be peace through strength.

A lot of people use guns for criminal use and illegal use. People use them to murder and can cause chaos.

no body can tell if the person their selling to is a person to entrust responsibility to, or give them the power of a firearm, that's why people need psyche evaluation if their going to own a gun, and have a right to one, as one would have under the Second Amendment.

I don't have much statistical data, but as a student, I'm very afraid of guns and I want them more regulated, so that it's harder to attack schools.

Look,I support people having the freedom of having guns but just make sure who is buying a gun and what there reason or reasons of trying to obtain a gun.

Most shootings, especially in schools, are done by people who illegally bought a gun and didn't go through proper background checks.

Those who have a history of violence or physiological issues shouldn't be able to have firearms. Additionally I see a lot of people that lack basic firearms safety skills (flagging people, finger on trigger, ect.) and I feel people should have to demonstrate basic knowledge of firearm's safety and handling before you can have one.

People get killed by guns A LOT. America has more people than guns which is **** ing stupid in my opinion.

People who buy guns should undergo training and psycoanalysis testing to prevent school shootings similar to the icelandic mode.
