Guns need regulation in much the same manner as vehicles. There should be training; psychological evaluations, extensive background checks, a written and practical test and this should be standardized in every state. If you are being irresponsible with your weapon you could lose your license and the weapons you own until you earn that right back. The ATF should also be imbued with the ability to check in monthly with gun shops in order to keep them from selling under the counter and many other actions that they’re currently lacking the ability to do. These regulations are no different than the regulations on the first amendment or on the “right to travel”. They don’t hinder one’s ability to own a weapon, but rather keep the public safe from those few who give good gun owners bad names.
