    If he worked for FOX they’d replace him with Ted Nugent.

    Must be a .45, with a 9 mm he’d have 12.

    Costas should never have made those comments.-Comments like those or ANY debate about gun control will inevitably lead to confiscation of all guns.

    It is the ease with which guns, with high capacity magazines, are available. Regulation DOES need to improve, for both regulating those buying, and the types of firearms they can acquire.

    There was a proposal to put an identifying trace in the powder but NRA lobbied it down.Same also with a proposal to put a number in the fire pin so that cartridges could be traced to the weapon.

    “short round 10 mm”: He blew away his mom and the kids and teachers, with his momma’s guns! It is typical of the actual statistics on guns in the home for “self defense”, the guns usually kill their owners.

    That is why, as a gun owner, with concealed carry permit, I support stronger regulations on gun ownership, registration, and control. Actually, while the government couldn’t maintain, or share information from my gun purchase, Smith and Wesson sold the information to the NRA, who contacted me to join! I don’t fear the government, but I’m very distrustful of those in right-wing nut groups who do.

    Dianne Feinstein’s bill is the right idea, but the wrong solution. There is no point in outlawing guns. They are out there, there are millions, they are made of metal and will last for a thousand years if they are kept oiled. Failing that, I could find materials in my basement that would produce a workable gun, and it doesn’t take much knowledge of the subject to figure out how to do it.

    Bullets, on the other hand, are time consuming to make and require specific equipment. Production of enough to do serious damage would require planning and patience that are not characteristic of those who shoot up elementary schools. And, working on such a project might attract the attention of someone sane.

    Bullets can be individually stamped, and their sale can be registered, so that every bullet can be traced back to the person who purchased it. This way, a guy who wants to buy a couple boxes of bullets to go shoot deer, or the woman who wants a box to keep with the gun in her bedside drawer, won’t set off any warning bells. But the guy who is buying an arsenal will attract attention before he finds a more lethal way to do it.
