No it is ultimately a person's 2nd amendment right to be able to possess and carry a firearm, however more restrictions should adhere to criminals and the mentally ill. They can apply to have this right restored after being evaluated and have proven they are changed or cured. The government should allow possession of firearms in public and concealed carry for all law-abiding and "smart" gun owners. No bans on guns or ammo should be allowed, but more training should be required for more complex weapons and ballistics except for psychologically competent military and police personnel. The government should pass a national “stand your ground” law as well as castle doctrine laws. Ultimately, smart and law-abiding citizens should be allowed unrestricted gun access with uninhibited freedom. Crimes involving guns should be penalized more severely, especially for repeat offenders and those with mental health issues, who should lose access until they have been heavily vetted to have rights restored.
