Machine guns should be a birthright. Come home from the hospital with one!As a veteran, yes absolutely. But I think anyone who isn't a raving lunatic should be able to carry a machine gun... oh wait, that makes me a raving lunatic...
Its a right, not a privilege. EVERYONE should be allowed to carry in all 50 states without restriction.
I voted no because I know a ton of stupid, irresponsible people that are considered Veterans, and I wouldn't trust them with a potato peeler, let alone a handgun.
Does this include vets who have committed a felony or come back from
serving with mental/psychological issues?
I am the first one to shake hands with and thank vets when I see them
out in public, but should they not be subjected to the process which
deems us as "proper persons?"
Understanding both sides of the argument, I must side with reason and say no.
I know a lot of idiots that joined the service to avoid working at McDonalds for the rest of their lives. I think that if they can pass whatever background check /training requirements there are for a state, then they should be allowed to carry without a permit.
As for prior posts, I think that adults (18+) without a record or signs of mental illness should be allowed to carry. Kennesaw, Georgia is a prime example of why every able adult should be given the right (or in this case, requirement) to own a gun.
As for Immigrants and visitors being allowed to carry guns... I am inclined to say no. It is one thing if they have met the time requirement to apply for citizenship (in that case they should be given the opportunity to meet all state mandated requirements in order to carry/own a firearm), and it is another if they have been in the country two months and dont understand how things work.
Its a right, not a privilege. EVERYONE should be allowed to carry in all 50 states without restriction.
