So, go ahead and propose all kinds of regulations that will make it more difficult for the average person to have a gun. After you do that, don't be at all surprised if the ongoing random violence against unarmed assembled masses continues unabated.
How about the one where guns not in use are required to be stored in a certified gun safe? That might have stopped him.

I have no issue with any regulation that you want to pass.

Do you believe that the requirement would be adhered to by most of the population? In fact, the type of individual who would deliberately flaunt the law is exactly the type of individual who might have a relative or a child who would take that weapon............you know, the DB's of society?

Not sure. I would think jail time would be a good incentive. How about we pass it and find out? We could always come up with other ideas should this one fail. Not like the plane was invented on the first try.

Personally, I'm positive that jail time is not a disincentive. The reason is very simple. There is no enforcement. You decide to require a locked gun safe in every single house, thereby taking away the very need to own a gun. Nobody follows the law. Nobody enforces the law.

The liberals champion their success at gun regulation.

More shootings occur without any abatement.


I think you're wasting your time to attempt to control the weapon, but, as I stated, I have no dog in this fight. I have a loaded shotgun with a pistol grip under the bed...........that's it.

You're not going to require me to have a safe for my shotgun...........are you?

Unless you are carrying that gun around on you at all times, yes I would.

Enforcement is a separate issue.

Then, we are in a fundamental disagreement on principle. That weapon is under the bed for a very good reason and I have no intention of locking it in a safe no matter what law the liberals pass.

So, without any enforcement of me violating the law, what do you have?

You claim "enforcement is a separate issue". I call BS..........why pass a law if you cannot or will not enforce it? A fundamental disagreement on principle.

If your gun is stolen and used in a crime you're going to jail. Works fine for me.

Enforcement is always an issue. That is why we have no gun control because the laws are not enforced or are to weak to begin with.

Out of curiosity, what good is the gun doing under the bed if you are not home? Do you leave your house unlocked when you are not home to?
