The boy was crossing the intersection at Eastern Parkway and Albany Ave. around 5:33 p.m. when he was hit by the 69-year-old driver of a black Honda Pilot going southbound on the avenue.
Appropriate! I’m actually a pro-2A gun owner who believes states should have licensee-paid training course requirements operated by ranges alongside properly funded per-gun licensing programs, both of which potential buyers would have to pass/obtain before use, perhaps additionally subsidized with a small annual fee per gun.
I definitely am guided in this opinion by the way I think we should regulate cars. Cars and guns are way more analogous to one another than hard-line advocates for either are usually comfortable admitting. I think that both have their place but need to be treated responsibly. The current lassiez-faire approach in most states is definitly a major factor in the number of deaths attributable to both. This doesn’t mean it has to feel punitive or be needlessly difficult, it just has to comprehensively address obvious risk factors.
We largely agree. There’s perhaps something to be said for the people who complain the gun licensing fees like this are mainly used to keep guns out of the hands of the poor, however.
As long as the licensing has a focus on competency, safety, and perhaps some kind of objective measure for mental health/civic mindedness/violent crime/appropriate red flags I can’t define on the spot - rather than just fees that makes guns “for rich folk” I’m all for it.
