If you've read my previous post on the hand guns, I do believe in training. Just buying a gun and carrying it without any training or practice is a scary thing. I also believe that if you buy a gun, go get your Concealed carry you do have to go through a course including shooting it, That's not enough you had better follow up in training and practice.

Forget Gun checks, and every thing that goes with it, America will wake up one day and say ' i know how to deal with the gun problem, it has been simple all along, GET RID OF ALL GUNS AND FOLLOW AUSTRALIA'S GUN CONTROL. :) Regardless of how people feel about guns this will happen over a period of time with the general public help, to dob in those they know have weapons -- having a gun to protect your self from other guns is idiotic -- migrate to Canada.

I don't agree with bulletman's answer.
When I was first married, we travelled across country and wandered into Canada to visit "Tour of the Universe" in Toronto. At the border, a check of our GMC van yielded a "roach" of marijuana (my wonderful husband and his equally wonderful brother). We were ushered into separate rooms and a strip search was attempted....I was furious with those two idiots. I did not cooperate with a full strip search at all, and was not forced to do so. That was 30 years ago. A good border security is important, no squabble from me.

I support the 2nd amendment, but obviously there needs to be very reliable checks and balances to prevent the chaos we all see with everybody and their crazy brother-in-law packing heat.
An extensive background check and fingerprinting is done for someone who is hired by a school district, works in a church, or wants to open a recycling center. Should anything LESS be done for someone who wants to purchase and/or carry a firearm? AFTER the background check is completed, the potential gun-owner/toter would be required to complete an "X" number of hours gun training and maintaining course. The certificate would be good for no more than two years.
THEN, you can purchase a gun. I am not in favor of open carry, or even concealed carry for "just anybody". MOST of us do not need to worry on a daily basis of being in need of a gun for protection. Not yet, anyway....

There could be appeals, certainly, because I wouldn't let anyone who had a history of mental illness or a suicide attempt, or any conviction for any kind of assault to legally possess a gun.
Therein lies the bigger problem....people who somehow manage to get their hands on a gun illegally. Get to the bottom of THAT, and many (not all) of our gun-violence issues could be eliminated.
We have to start somewhere. Taking all the guns away from the citizens makes as much sense as - say - denying everybody immigration.
