Carrot and stick approach to just doing the right thing.

Sen. Schumer, comedian Amy Schumer call for more gun control

http://www.njherald.com/story/29693330/sen-schumer-comedian-amy-schumer-call-for-more-gun-control

The senator's legislation would create monetary rewards for states that submit all necessary records into the background check system and penalize states that do not. He also will call on Congress to preserve mental health funding and substance abuse programs.


Why is this even necessary? Why can't states just comply with the law without being paid to do it? Why do we suddenly have to punish states that don't comply with the law instead of doing it all along?

Oh, I forgot . . . the NRA.

And any other crimes, such as conspiracy to promote wholesale murder.
Works for me.
