I’m very opposed to needlessly limiting freedom, even if it isn’t a very objectively important freedom, like gun collecting. We need to heavily regulate who can own a gun and put in place harsh penalties and strict oversight when it comes to where those guns end up once someone buys them, meaning that all guns (or at least the more dangerous ones) need to be bought and sold through licensed dealers with background checks and the like. Also, illegal and excess guns need to be confiscated and destroyed to decrease the massive number of guns floating around this country. Banning all guns for everyone is a pointless and stupid exercise of authoritarian government. I’m in favor of heavy gun regulations, but I’m also in favor of keeping this country as free as possible, within reason, and the fact is, most gun-owners aren’t endangering anyone.

EDIT: Also, I agree with everything that the preceding post says.
