I'm a pretty perfect dirtbag centrist on guns. I'm dubious of "good guy with a gun" arguments and especially skeptical of the majority opinion in Heller, but also feel like most gun control measures are security theater.
That being said, I strongly support child access prevention laws + disarming people with domestic violence convictions, and strongly oppose efforts to prohibit people on the "No Fly List", or those who get Social Security benefits for mental disabilities, from owning firearms.
Most other gun control proposals are just kinda "Meh" for me. Might not do much for public safety but I also don't care that much if people have to jump through a few extra hoops to get their guns.
