If you're a responsible person, I see no reason for you not to be allowed to purchase a gun for hunting, protection or just collecting. On the other hand, guns should be under the same restrictions that cars are put under and for the same reason. Both are dangerous instrumentalities capable of causing severe injury or death when misused. Therefore, they should be kept out of the hands of known felons, minors (under 16 years of age) and people who have mental disorders. ALL gun owners should be registered and should have to undergo safety training before being issued a license. Automatic rifles, especially those with large magazines should not be sold unless they can be permanently disabled. And, if you have a problem with this, these are the same rules that apply to car ownership.
