We�re angry, frustrated, and upset at everything that is going on with the country and how these arrogant, self-centered, selfish leftists think they can run your life for you, violate your own personal decisions, override what you think is the best method of self-defense for yourself and your family, and take away your fundamental, God-given rights.
I saw you mention "common-sense laws" earlier. Common sense dictates that mining your property or firing a 120mm explosive anti-personnel round at an intruder shouldn't be done.
For the majority of Americans, common-sense also suggests that to own a firearm one should be properly trained, and licensed, similar to how one gets a license to drive a car.

This. I have no general problem with guns, but I don't see why you shouldn't need to have a license, registration, and maybe even
insurance in the same way that you would a car. We make people do that
to own a car so that we know that they have at least a marginal idea of how to operate it, and won't go driving on sidewalks mowing people
down. In the same vein, I don't see why you shouldn't be properly
trained and licensed to use any kind of a gun as well. Cos I'd much
rather you understand how it works, than just be some schmo that walked off the street and bought a rifle from Wal-Mart with nothing except
"guns are cool" as background.

One of the nice side-effects of licensing and registration of firearms is that it quickly becomes evident just how gang-related violence dominates firearms fatalities. Here in Canada, the number of homicides by PAL-holders is approximately about as many women who are charged with infanticide; that is, it's statistically irrelevant. It makes for good argument data for firearms owners.
However, that doesn't stop the Liberals and NDP from seeking to further make miserable the lives of PAL-holders or to deprive them of their property. Whe it comes to gang-related firearms violence our progressive politicians stick their fingers in their ears, close their eyes, and scream LALALALA.

Illinois is trying to make it harder for their residents. Already you need an Firearms Ownership ID Card in order to buy guns and ammo. New legislation will require an FOID holder to turn over every social media and discussion forum account name and password so the state can monitor you for "red flags" that indicate violent behavior. This is alread a
hot issue because it violates due process of law, but it also treats
those who are actually obeying the law like they are criminals

Meanwhile, there are no longer any illegal shootings and gun-crimes in Chicago because all of this is working so darn well. <sarcasm mode off>
Socialists, Communists, and other authoritarians don't want the non-criminals to have guns because it will make it easier to tell them what to do and have them do nothing about it. They are willing to accept that criminals will still have guns because, let's face it, there will always be criminals.

The worst part about it all is how uninformed and misinformed the mainstream media is on firearms and their function. I've seen some of
the worst computer animations of firearms functioning on the news. For example, one animation showing the complete bullet, cartridge and all,flying out the barrel.

The problem would be that criminals and killers would not bother to do
any of that and as usual, the only ones that suffer and pay the "ginormous" fees for it are the legal, law-abiding citizens.

I just thought of something I should have thought of before...
When someone mentions people driving on sidewalks, I should
ask why someone would do that? Doesn't that mean they are
wanting to cause havoc, and it's NOT just because they
don't have a license?

there's a lot of youtube videos of black kids driving crazy, swerving and th driving on sidewalks. because that's a cool thing to do.

I never imagined reckless driving would become a "cool" thing to do
