Why does getting a gun license take 3 years?

ace1o1I don't want it for a "big man" mindset. I want one to just have fun with it basically. I really don't care what other people think or say about it. Where I come from, guns are the shit.And besides that, it's my right to own one.
If I have the chance to do something, I will. And since I live on a large plot of land, I don't need a range. When you live in the country there are wolves and coyotes around. You want something other than a stick to fend off something like that. Also, rabid animals as well. :S
And also, when your little brother is molested by your "friend" and you feel responsible for that in a way, you want to protect them as best you can.

I could pick this apart piece by piece, but I'd say that it speaks for itself. You're quite obviously a child lacking the maturity to understand what I'm trying to say, hiding behind your constitutional right to "bear arms" as an excuse to own a weapon you're not qualified to handle.A handgun will hardly protect you from a wolf on the off chance you come across one, and seriously, if you think you're going to pull a gun on a kid in the name of "protection" then you're not the kind of person who should own one anyway.

Fyi in most cases pulling out a gun would only escalate the situation, and if you weren't in a incredibly dangerous situation in the first place and you hold someone up with a gun (or god forbid, shoot), there's very serious legal implications.I only see a purpose in owning a gun if you're a shooting range guy for fun, or hunting. Fuck, using one to protect yourself only seems like a bad idea or doesn't even seem practical. If an animal attacks you, it'll usually come as a surprise (because animals aren't retarded). Like I said, pulling out a gun in a hostile situation will only escalate it, and make everyone freak the fuck out. Which is NOT GOOD.I don't get this attitude of 'it's my right'. I just, don't get it.
