Licensing gun owners in New Zealand helps a lot, without confiscating, or buying back, weapons. Licensing guns and owners, just like cars and drivers, makes perfect sense. At least then when you get an “unlicensed driver” you have a place to start with criminal prosecution to get them “off the street”. You also have a means of keeping them from buying a “car” legally as well, and restrict dealer’s “empathy” to violate the law.
Hey Dr. C: that’s what it’s like in Chicago on a daily basis. They are already in the running for the highest murder rate in the country and we’re only one month into the year.
So is this cartoon being critical of the NRA for representing it’s law abiding members, or the politicians and the press for prostituting tragedies such as Sandy Hook?

“Guns are used over 2800 times a day in America to defend against crimes.”
Any statistics from the countries that don’t have gun envy problems?

That proves they need tighter controls in neighboring states.

but a harder equation is how many people have been saved because they had a gun.

Bill Stevens had some interesting thoughts on this.
