To those people who, EVERY SINGLE TIME, start up with the bullshit…I dont see how a law could have prevented this particular gun crime.

I say: Just stop that!

Should we not have seat belt laws, speed limits, drunk driving laws, texting while driving laws, child safety seats and so on? Should we not continue to improve on auto and highway safety?

No. One law will not prevent the madness of gun violence. But if we close the gun show loophole, make every single gun purchase…no exceptions, be subject to a background check. Hold adults accountable when children gain easy access to their guns. Require gun owners to take at least a minimal safety course. Require a license and make it renewable just like drivers licenses, limit high capacity ammo sales…And back it all up with hefty fines and or jail time.

Pair this with incentives for innovative safety features by gun manufactures, a strong national PA campaign then maybe, just maybe we could slow this shit down.

It worked to curb the rate of automobile related deaths, it can work for gun deaths too.
