    Well, you’re allowed to own a car even if you aren’t allowed to drive it. Maybe for guns there should also be separate rules for ownership and operation?

    I mean, ideally, I’d be for no private ownership of firearms at all - that just makes for a safer society.

      I mean yes… that’s what a collectors permit is… Viewed in that light…

      But I agree, ideally, private gun ownership should be AT LEAST heavily regulated.
