139. No, just mentally competent adults with clean records.
yet the 2nd amendment allows every madman and criminal in the country to have a gun according to NRA

No, just mentally competent adults with clean records. The NRA supported, and still supports, the portions of the Gun Control Act of 1968 that make it a Federal crime for a convicted felon or someone adjudicated mentally incompetent to so much as touch a gun or a single round of ammunition. As do I.

I don't have a problem with keeping guns out of criminal hands. Problem is, the gun-control lobby wants to keep guns out of MY hands. I'm 37, have a liberal arts education, have never had so much as a speeding ticket, and know more about guns and gun law than most LEO's. I have a problem with that.
