If you want to purchase a firearm in the US, there will be a background check at time of purchase. To check if your a felon or have done serious crimes. After purchase of firearms you can do anything with them on private property as long as it is legal (no homicide or hunting). However you can protect land with the newly acquired firearm depending on your states statues on protecting property. For example where I live there's a statue for protecting livestock (cows, pigs, horses, lamas and allpacas) if any animal tries to harm or kill anything that falls into the catorgory of livestock. Which gives you the right to shoot it under circumstance.

Aswell as If you want to conceal Carry (having a firearm on you in public in places that don't explicitly say no firearms) You need to take a class where they teach you, don't shoot at something your not willing to part with. Treat ever gun as if it is loaded. Know whats beyond your target Etc.

I think there should be more training on firearms. And when to and not use them.

Its not that guns are bad, people are bad aswell as stupid. I also must add that this is my opinion and your are welcome to your own. And please be civil if you do replie.

Also people need to stop generalizing (left wants this) (right wants this) Its stupid not everybody is an extremist. So not everybody in a certain party or race agrees with outlandish stuff.

There's my 2 cents Everybody have a nice day/night!! Cheers,
