Can see a bolt action, with a scope, for hunting. Everything else is extraneous and showing off.Personally, I don't buy guns to show off. I buy them to be prepared. I have them because I cannot predict what the future holds for my children's children.
It's crazy how people can get caught up in the times. this so called "peace" we have in America can change in an instant. The world as we know it is unstable and irratic
Or maybe I watch too much terminator

In what world are you living that we have peace?
Guns are the opposite of peace.

I think guns, shotguns, and shooting rifles (for hunting) should be allowed to the public. But I cannot understand how civilians are given access to semi-automatic ruffles or even grenades. There are no reasons why they should be allowed to own one unless they have special permission from the gov.
Grenades are Class III in the US.
To legally own them, you are subject to stringent requirements.

We have the technology to gather information and use suggestive advertising on smart devices. We can update the database to give a warning if someone purchases more than a pre-determined amount of guns/type of gun. Or if they are convicted of a crime. Or if they have a psych recommendation. Etc. etc. etc.Idk there are people out there much smarter than me. Is the current system really the best we can do?? I don't think so.
The current system is not the best, no.
Adding more safeguards means more intrusion in the American way of life. I'm not 100% ready to have the government up my ass more than they already are with my past employment.
You need to register your address and name. Social security. That's all that's needed.
But the amount of guns you own should be on record. If you start stockpiling that should be stopped. I even think there needs to be a limit of number of guns each person is allowed to purchase. Or limit to type.
Or if you are deemed mentally ill by the state your banned from gun ownership. I think about that kid who shot up Virginia Tech.
Safety for all doesn't need to mean giving up your personal freedoms.

Registration will lead to confiscation:

Pro Second Amendment. Many reasons why, but some light reading:

I hate innocent people getting killed too.
The need for rifles is still relevant today as it was when they were invented.
Depending on your enemy you may need certain classes of weapons to defend your right to life
