On one hand, I'm not for banning guns completely. However, I feel that if you want to buy a gun, you shouldn't be automatically allowed to get one. I favour for example waiting periods, background checks, and denial of gun sales to people with a history of criminal activity and/or mental illness. But I can't say there should be an absolute prohibition of firearms ownership. I have to take a middle ground on gun control. On one hand, I’m not for banning guns completely.
