| Message | There are certain weapons and firearms that the general public has no purpose for owning, such as semi-automatics and assault rifles. Things like hunting rifles, pistols, and shotguns will be allowed, they just require licensing. People like criminals gave up their rights when they disobeyed the laws. Therefore, they shouldn't be allowed a weapons license regardless of their right to own firearms. And licensing for firearms help protect people's right to life in general. Less firearms = less casualties from them. |
