How many friendships have you had to end

[Always Right]

43. Since we are having a civilized conversation, what do you propose specifically?

Actually 2 of your 3 proposals are already the law. Well the third is as well in some places.

Automatic Weapons were highly regulated in the National Firearms Act of 1934 and banned from production in the Gun Owner's Protection act of 1986.

All states presently require background checks before any firearm can be purchased from a gun dealer. The real issue is that the databases being checked often lack information which, if entered, would prohibit the sale. The Texas church shooting is one such example. There he had been dishonorably discharged from the military for domestic violence but the military never reported that to the agency who does background checks so he passed.

Some states already have gun licenses, such as Illinois and New York, though how would you propose how licensing the owners would prevent any gun crime or criminals from obtaining guns? What is your response to The Journal News, a newspaper in New York that published the names of all those who had New York gun licenses, effectively giving criminals a shopping list of where to go steal guns?

What else do you propose we do?
