I support background checks that keep people who have felony convictions from buying guns. The system could probably use some tweaking for non-violent felons, victimless crimes, etc. But so long as he receives his day in court, it seems fair to me.
I won't ever support a written psych exam at the gun shop counter. But if someone has been deemed mentally unstable, then he should temporarily not be allowed access to a firearm. Again, as long as he receives some sort of due process.
If you're old enough to vote, you should be allowed to own and carry a firearm.
Also...
I don't support closing the "gun show loophole". That has more to do with my personal property rights than guns.
I don't want to be forced to buy bulk ammo 999 rounds at a time.
And I'd like to see the machine gun registry reopened. Then maybe even eliminated. But there are a lot of bureaucrats at ATF who need the work.
