It's is sensible solution once you consider how rarely safes get broken into in home robberies. You can make as many fantastic scenarios as you want about excavators and the like, but if every gun in America was locked up in a safe, there would be hardly any gun thefts in this country.

The fact that there are guns in America that are locked in a safe is the direct fault of IRRESPONSIBLE gun owners. We need to stop excusing them for their irresponsible behavior, especially since that directly fuels the black market for guns.

I guarantee if gun owners had to pay for their irresponsibility, we'd see a sharp drop in "stolen" and stolen guns. We'd see a sharp drop in the availability of guns on the black market. We'd see a sharper drop in gun crime as it becomes harder & more expensive to get them.

More intensive background checks along with longer waiting periods. In addition, gun shows, as the Al-Qaeda leader encouraged his followers to go to in this video, should no longer be allowed.

Are you suggesting we lock the doors to bars and have us remove our shoes before you enter any public space or business?
How many people do you think Omar could have killed in that night club using a box cutter?

Why would he need a box cutter when he could have bought an illegal "assault weapon"?

It didn't work because the people who plan to murder others do not obey these gun laws.

If you plan to murder people are you going to obey any gun laws?
Tired of that broken record lame excuse. If you are going to give up anyway, why do you need your guns?

Blaming the tool makes you a tool.
Again, how many people do you think Omar could have killed Saturday night with a box cutter?

Really, has common sense escaped?

Laws are meant to say what activities are not allowed and to punish those who violate them.

If laws prevented crime, we wouldn't have any murders because murder laws would have prevented them.

We wouldn't have to keep repeating this if you would listen to logic and reason.
