So we need to spend more money on enforcement then. Maybe put gun fees to help fund it?

Ok. Then change the system.

These problems have solutions.... If you don't like them then you need to come up with an alternative gun control. People notice those who blame but don't offer solutions and those people get overruled if they don't start producing. Another few mass attacks with an AR, you may quickly find you have a very small voice. I suggest to start coming up with meaningful gun laws before time runs out.

You tell me who should be restricted. Clearly I favor the mentally ill and felons off the bat. What about you?

How does this address what I said? Again, it's the person that commits the crime, not the gun.

So who's job is it. This is why government is in control because you let them. You complain yet don't do anything about it.

The best part about it is we have had NICS for 17 years and only a handful of states share their criminal and mental health records on who should be denied a firearm. If you were convicted or been committed by a judge for being a danger to your self or others then later move to another state you can pass a background check. The Brady people who got this law passed don't even try to fix this. It's the gun industry who is trying to fix it. About FixNICS | FixNICS.org The left always want to demonize the NRA but they are the ones who are working to fix this. The NRA and the gun industry doesn't want sandy hooks by crazy's.
