So...my Korean restaurant business plan seems a solid bet in the USA, then.

Yeah, or your dog fighting ring.  One or the other.

Combining the two would seem to be cost effective.  It'll be like a Roman gladitorial ring, except the loser gets eaten.

Best.  Business. Plan.  EVER.

Maybe, as some of these shootings happen when kids get hold of parents firearms, there should be an assessment of the storage facility of guns and ammo before they are sold. Kind of like animal shelters assess suitability of a property before homing animals...

They do?

Not here, they don't.

They did that when my mum adopted her mutt.

Yeah, but this is the USA.  Need another 16 dogs?  None of my fucking business.  Roll the truck up and we'll load 'em.

Mostly they do it to make sure that the animal doesn't come back.

Anyway,as apolicy for folks who hve kids with guns in the house, I'd reckon it'd save a few accidental deaths and young men going postal with mommy or daddy's guns in a public place.

The prevailing cultural attitude in the USA (and one of the few I agree with) is that a little safety is not worth messing with the Bill of Rights.

"Shall not be infringed upon".

Like Roger, I have no problem with gun control in the UK, or France, or Nigeria, or Abu Dhabi. But here, in the states, regardless of any sensible arguments anyone may make for why gun control would be a good idea in theory, it is NOT worth setting the precedent of openly gutting one of the original ten amendments because the public was in a mood.

Is proving that you are responsible in order to own a licensed firearm infringing on anyone's rights? you could still reapply once your shit is sorted out if you fail first time.

I am intrigued.

Please, tell me more about the way making things illegal makes them go away. It sounds like a marvelous policy. We should make murder illegal. If we did that, nobody would ever be killed! It's brilliant! I can't believe we haven't thought of this before!

To my plauge addled brain it does seem to imply that you are unfit (guilty) simply for just wishing to purchase a firearm.

Yea, but if you are into sport or hunting for your food, showing responsibility in storage isn't impeding on rights? or is my Brit-brain just getting the whole thing wrong?

"Shall not be infringed"
To me this is probably placing more barriers to firearm ownership. Why should I have to prove that I can safely store a firearm? Furthermore, why do I have to even give a reason to own one in the first place?
If I am a single adult living alone, just being with in my home should be secure enough for anyone who isn't me. It's kind of a "fuck off this is my house" thing.
Even if I have children, why should I allow people who aren't privy to the dynamics of my children have any kind of say, let alone right to investigate my home and children?
Again, this is implying that by merely seeking to own a firearm you are already unhinged or a danger to society. Much like the TSA checkpoints to get on an aircraft.

From a legal perspective, yes it is. While you and I can both agree that it's common sense in most contexts, it's still paving the way for the founding ideals of this society to be gutted according to whim.

Thing is, the point of Americans being allowed to own guns has nothing to do with hunting or sporting.

The whole point of a right is that you don't have to explain it.
