You give me too much credit to assume I just make this stuff up. I’m just reacting to Jimmy Kimmel, Hillary Clinton, The New Republic and every other gun nanny. It’s embarrassingly easy:https://newrepublic.com/article/125498/its-time-ban-guns-yes-them
GOP’er are the first to cry “Mental Health issues” when a non-brown murders a bunch of people. So they should be on board with reopening the mental health centers that Ronald Reagan had closed.
(Which lessened the availability of mental health care and put many homeless on the street.)
The GOP / NRA doesn’t want the CDC to try to determine what the causes of gun deaths are. We should reverse that.
Some will claim “Guns stop murders”. But there is no proof of that. And Tucker Carlson’s The Daily Caller isn’t proof.
At this time, there is no central source of gun crime reports nationwide. We need to create one. FBI? CDC? ATF? are all possibilities. That may aid in finding the causes of gun crime.
End the drug war. We lost. Addiction is a medical issue, not a police matter. All it does now is fund gangs that buy more guns.
Add “ID taggants” to ammo. ID the buyers and limit the amounts of ammo bought.
“Gas Operated’ reloading guns should not be available to the private citizen. SWAT teams at the most.
The patchwork of State laws has failed. Gun control needs to be at the Federal level.
About the “last” thing we want to do is consider how other “developed” countries deal with personal ownership of firearms! But, then, that’s similar to how Americans treat health care … versus other “developed” countries….

We do know what doesn’t work:

That’s just off the top of my head.

Lester, why do you — and virtually all Republicans — equate any kind gun regulation with banning guns entirely/abolishing the 2nd amendment?
After the 20s, machine guns were outlawed, yet the republic AND the 2nd amendment survived.

^ Mr. Lester: Thanks for pointing out that The New York Times and The New Republic are reputable news sites!
