It is your rights at stake. I-594 will not do anything to decrease crime or keep illegal guns out of the hands of criminals. Criminals do not follow the law, what makes anybody believe they will follow this law?

I am from a family of gun owners. My mother served in active duty Marines and the Naval reserves. We all believe that to have a gun is our right via the 2nd amendment, but a right to be taken VERY seriously. Guns are not toys, they are not objects to show off to your buddies for fun. Guns are made to harm or kill other living things. And EVERYONE who takes the grave responsibility of shooting a weapon, should be fully trained and mentally and morally competent to do so. Any reasonable gun-owner knows that guns don’t belong in the hands of everybody, because of a public safety issues. And whether you own a gun or not, there is no guarantee that you will have a gun on hand when a criminal or crazed person decides to discharge his/her weapon in a place where you or friends, or family members are unarmed and unprepared. I say if gun-owners want to protect their second-amendment rights they need to act responsibly, rather than promote the idea that they have no concern for the safety of the greater public. Making sure that gun shows and online gun sales conduct background checks makes it more difficult for anyone to buy a gun who would not pass the background check. As it is now, gun shows and online sales are an INVITATION to criminals and crazies. I for one, am not interested in supporting invitations to criminals to buy guns easily.
