You have to take 2 tests to get a license to own a car, perhaps there should be a written and competency test for gun ownership (as well as a license).... actually not a bad idea, Outlaw!

would you object to:
1. reasonable waiting period on gun purchase
2. background check for all gun purchases
3. limiting sale of certain magazines (based on capacity)
4. so called assault weapon ban?

I ask because these are more likely to occur than an outright gun ban (which would be a bad idea) and would still allow a citizen to protect his family.

For the record I am only hesitant on 4 because I know some great people who enjoy their AR15 and AK47s (and crappy SKSs), I'm fine with the first 3.

p.s. - I don't wish you or your family to have any misfortunes and I'm glad you were there to protect them...
