To me, it would be just about as effective as a so-called background check. |

I can think of several law enforcement applications. One is simple in that if I shoot you in Texas with my gun that I bought in Illinois, local law enforcement is going to be severely handicapped in solving the crime. Even if I left the gun at the scene, they'd have no way to trace it back to me unless they knew where I purchased it, and even then the state I purchased the gun in may protect me even further. It is unlawful to have any type of database in some states. Last edited by packs; 03-26-2018 at 05:05 PM. |

Specifics?
Okay. Let's have some! PLEASE!!! Everyone who has a suggestion, speak up? The question is this: WHAT actions will work, in your opinion, to decrease the growing number of mass shootings? Take any stance you want, just say something that YOU think will work! I will start us off by believing that thorough background checks could eliminate folks with mental issues from being eligible to own a firearm of any kind. Their absolute right to bare arms should be usurped by the need to keep others safe from attacks like the kinds we have been experiencing. To paraphrase what I have stated in my post signature, ALL of our rights as Americans come with an understood equal hand of responsibility and accountability. Those are words I have lived by all my live and I find it difficult for imagine anyone could make a valid argument against them. .

Last year I had a police officer almost hit me head on because he was playing on his phone. When we passed each other over half his car was in my lane. On the school gun thing. Now we have a police officer at each school. When I was in HS about 20% of the vehicles(all unlocked) had guns in them and there was never a problem. I live in a rural area so many of us hunted on the way to and from school. |

Ben- I couldn't agree with you more about the texting while driving. But, it's not just texting...it's distracted drivers...I cannot seem to get my brother to stop calling me on his 'hands-free' phone on the way home from work...in Atlanta mind you. He doesn't seem to grasp the idea that 'hands-free' does not solve the problem. I'm glad to hear your HS never had a problem when you were there...I graduated 44 years ago...and we had fights and racial incidents, but no incidents involving firearms. Some people were injured, but nobody was killed. But, let's focus on today's world...things are different...people are different. Let me hear an idea from you, Ben...on reducing campus shootings. I promise not to criticize your opinion...it's just important to get all opinions out there (here) so they can be discussed in a civilized manner...at least, that is my hope. -Raymond
