There needs to be a level of control on illegal guns.

Upstanding citizens who own guns do not need to be monitored. That would be socialism

I support the Second Amendment, and I am sure this was accident, my sympathy for the family of the lost victim and the hunter who shot him goes out. However GUNS don’t kill people: people kill people. So we need to continue to support the second amendment, but better monitor the illegal guns and the people who own them better.

Funny how on the website there are two shooting articles and another on the spike in area gun sales.

You people are not making it easy for us good folks who are defending the Second Amendment.
