i remember i made a box of photos of me growing up for father's day and my dad made me feel like complete shit for it and smacked me across the face for cutting up photos instead of keeping them intact. now every time i see a box that same shape and size, i flinch.
honestly background checks are not enough. they are unreliable & not enforced consistently. anyone who wants a gun should have to write an essay on why they need one & there should be a 6 month waiting period while going thru training. at minimum, insurance should be required.
