be more requirements for getting a gun. For example, people should be over a certain age.
In addition, they should have no criminal record. They should also have to pass a gun-safety
class.If someone commits a crime with an unlicensed gun,
then that person should get jail time for the crime. He should also get jail time for the
illegal possession of the gun. He should also never be allowed to get a gun license.
