We should have a legal process available to go before a judge in urgent matters of self-defense, such as abusive partners.

do we have to wait 6 months to buy a car? do we need a background check for a car? do we need a government permission slip to sell a car to your brother in law? and there already is a legal process for restraining orders, completely one sided, but it's there.

using the car/gun analogy, I think owning bigger guns could work, but then you'd be looking at a higher class of license (much like truck licenses, boat licenses, etc.)

I find it a little disturbing that you're so glib about the responsible ownership of a deadly weapon.

whats glib about it? if you screw up with your gun, you lose it and spend time in jail. it's called accountability, something this country has been lacking for a long time. thanks libs.
