Ahh, so there's nothing that can be done. Let 'er rip!
I've come to the conclusion that there really is nothing that can
be done in terms of new gun laws mainly because of how many guns
already exist and the lack of records as to where they are or who
owns them. Yeah, mandatory background checks, etc., may help but most
places already have them.
The only thing I can think of .... and this will cause indigestion for
many here ... is a required registration of all guns
and strict enforcement of the required registration. If for some
reason you are found to be in possession of a firearm that is not
registered to
you as it's owner, it results in immediate confiscation of that firearm.
The data base or registry identifies the owner and the owner is held
responsible for it and it's use. If stolen, sold or legally
transferred a report of that event or transfer would be required within
48 hours.
Not dissimilar for titles for vehicles.
So to some ... go take an antacid.
It's the tiny bit of liberal DNA in me.
The problem with that still is that criminals don't follow the law. The
gang bangers certainly won't register their stolen firearms.
