Igor, I'm slightly puzzled by your reply and would like to know and understand completely your point of view. The way I perceive your comment, is that you feel making it harder to obtain a gun will reduce gun related crimes.
Are you an advocate for more legislation on gun control?

If that is what you took away from my post, I apologize, for being too vague with my opinion. I do believe something needs to be done (several things) as you pointed out that this will require a complex solution. I really like the idea that msharmony presented, having a restriction listed on your State issued ID. This will only prevent the felons and the mentally disabled. The recent and first problem that needs addressed are the children who use guns to 'get back at' or 'get even with' their peers who (they feel) hurt their feelings. A fraction of these instances (horrible) involves that gun being LEGALLY obtained for the sole purpose of committing the act of 'getting even'. Most of the guns used are stolen by this child from a family member, to be used. Yes, there are irresponsible and ignorant gun owners, for the most part gun owners are responsible. I firmly believe that if a gun is used to commit a crime, that RO is and should be held to the same penalty that the offender is facing.
I also have the same opinion as Workin4it, you FORCIBLY stop the perpetrators and eventually those numbers will decline. The right to forcibly defend your home, auto, your neighbor, his home or vehicle, is what the Castle Doctrine/Law represents. Most States have adopted this doctrine, with the exception of 9 States, who have little to no form of this legal right. Even though the CD is recognized in most States, I do not believe it has been litigated in all.

Open Carry can also be a solution!

There is too much information in my reply for hyperlinks.

I could be wrong. But I feel societies which promote and encourage concern for and about others, are less violent in general, than those which promote responsibility for and to self only.

What you are saying with this thread, is that since violent people WILL find a way to act out, that we should collectively do NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO TRY TO STOP THEM.


I would suggest instead, that the solution to a very complicated problem, is going to involve a complicated response, with multiple actions.

I completely agree that JUST preventing people from having guns doesn't prevent all violent acts. But doing NOTHING because that's true, is about as intelligent and logical as deciding to do NOTHING about robbery, since JUST locking your car door doesn't prevent all such acts.

is it possible for you to link to the source of your Info?
