I agree, marijuana is used in many states without many negative consequences and everyone who purchases a firearm should be required to go through a through background check and psychological exam as well as take an I depth safety class

 @9GYSC7F from Texas agreed…6mos6MO

I agree that we need to have mandatory training and strict background checks and psychological testing when getting or operating a firearm. However, I don't think that drugs are the problem, although alcohol might have some affect, the current amount of shootings aren't from being intoxicated.

 @9GYQTM6agreed…6mos6MO

I agree that it should be mandatory to do psychological background checks because lots of mas shooters have mental problems that lead them to commit tragedies. I don't believe that using marijuana before in your life would affect how you think unless it's in the moment of the shooter acting on his crime.

 @9GZDMBW from North Carolina commented…6mos6MO

I don't agree with strict background checks and training. Other people have guns, and their gonna get them illegally regardless of what we do to prevent it. As a human being you need a for sure way to protect your life and your dignity. People are not as civil as they may seem, people are crazy. People will try to hurt you with guns, regardless of the laws on them. Everyone should have their own. Marijuana addiction should never be a question. Marijuana have never been shown to have a direct negative affect on the body or mind. I don't think most mass shooters are high on marijuana.…  Read more

 @9GYRVFMWomen’s Equality from Arizona agreed…6mos6MO

I agree with adding mandatory training along with strict background checks, and psychological testing, everyone should have to take a gun safety class, not just hunters. I don't think a drug like marijuana would cause a person to impulsively commit gun violence unless they have some serious mental issues. Other things such as meth, harder drugs, and alcohol do cause a person to lose the sense of reality or common sense, people at times can be completely consumed by the substance and have no control over their actions, people on things like this are more likely to commit gun violence.

 @9GYQRDR from Washington agreed…6mos6MO

I agree with this person's comment about gun control because people can do insane things with weapons. People who do stupid things with weapons are responsible for their actions.

 @9GYQ852 from Idaho agreed…6mos6MO

I feel like this is cool because now of days it seems like everyone can order a gun or buy one and its ending a lot of peoples life and its unfair to them and the family’s. I also feel like it should be like this and their should be more of a background for people who order a gun because no one should just be able top buy a gun you should at least properly know how to use it and the people selling you your gun should know if you have a past of drug use.

 @9GYRDJJ from California disagreed…6mos6MO

I do not think that marijuana increases the likelihood of violent crimes. I feel like alcohol and other rage inducing illicit substances.

 @9GYSHN3 from Texas agreed…6mos6MO

For me, as a french man, the gun shouldn't be allowed to sell and to buy as individuals. I have the same idea for marijuana shouldn't be allowed, it's really dangerous for global security. You can't be sure at a 100% that you are safe in the street while you are walking.

 @9GYQZZZ from Iowa agreed…6mos6MO

Yes, gun control needs to be increased. There is no reason for the general public to be provided with automatic weapons. There is no use for those in hunting. I believe only hunting weapons should be allowed to the general public.
