Agreed. I don't agree with enforcing regulations so strict that hunters or collectors can't buy guns. I do agree with regulations that require background checks, registration, and waiting periods on gun purchases. Also (at least in my state) I think that street purchases should be regulated. I don't think it's a good idea to be able to buy a gun at a yard sale, for instance. (and that does happen here.) However, most of the gun related crimes in this area are committed by people who passed the background check, had the safety classes, registered the weapon, and had the gun for at least a few weeks (many times for a few years). Maybe it's different in other places.
