I have been thinking about how to control who gets firearms, and who does not. Obviously the quandary is: How do you keep criminals from owning guns in a manner that doesn't impede a responsible non-criminal citizen. First off, the importance of gun ownership. Guns aren't just for hunting for food or defending you and yours from harm. They are also the tools needed to defend our way of life from a tyrannical government. Most tyrants first try to limit the populace's means of defending themselves before grabbing power. So, in this day and age, that means guns. Guns have replaced swords, bows and arrows and other methods of personal defense and offense. But how do we as a society decide who gets and doesn't get guns? I don't think anyone would have a problem with a responsible gun owner having any weapon in his or her house. The fact that they are responsible means that there would be no collateral damage. Its the irresponsible criminals we must look to. Now, what do most criminals have in common? One of the most basic things is a propensity to break the law. The other is a degree of selfishness that allows them to hurt others for personal gain. This is why most criminals smoke pot. They also look to having sex with loose women. They would also enjoy violent forms of entertainment. So, for my modest proposal, I submit that people who enjoy getting high, by pot or other methods (though pot is most common); look at pictures or media objectifying women, especially parts like the rear; and those who like militaristic, almost tactical video games and TV, be denied gun ownership and be immediately jailed. I think this would work.
