The other thing that happens is gun charges typically get dealt away to get a plea on the top count of the indictment, even when the gun charge might actually bring more time because of mandatory minimums. |

I have no idea who "We" is but, OK. Glad you agree that the ATF should be closing down gun dealers who sell guns illegally or who habitually disregard other regulations. It would be a small benefit to the overall gun problem in the nation but, every little bit helps. More importantly they should be tracking down the 100,000 felons who applied to buy a gun and failed the federal check. They committed a felony, but the federal govt has only prosecuted a few dozen. That would immediately get a bunch of previous felons who tried to buy guns off the street. |

Firearm dealers are buried in regulation with very spotty enforcement but the results are dire if you are caught. It is like OSHA violations, the IRS or just about any other government program. I also agree dealers are not the biggest part of the illegal gun problem. Thieves are. I will throw you a bone and admit a lot of gun owners are sloppy with where and how they store their guns. Mine are locked up and you would have to look pretty hard to even find the places where they are locked up. |

They don't want to do that or they would have to admit their database is so corrupted with bad data that most of those denials are false hits. |

As it is such a rare event, I understand why you might consider it a treat for others. ;-) Thieves are also small part of the overall gun problem. The majority of the problem is the guns themselves. Too many that are too easy to get, too easy to pass on to others and too easy to use to perpetrate mass mayhem and murder. |

There are 350-400 MILLION guns here and several thousand actually are involved in a murder. That means most are peacefully being used by legal owners. Of those guns that do become involved in a murder most were stolen. In fact the trail is so cold when recovered the cops don't even bother to try to trace them. |

Have you never experience the paradigm of a minority changing something for a majority? Most of our laws exist because of a minority who behave irresponsibly. That is where our nation is at with regard to firearms. American society is no longer going to bear the burden of placating gunstrokers. It is not going to happen immediately, but it is going to happen. Each massacre moves us closer to the inevitable. Until people like you come up with truly effective solutions instead of inane distractions, the nation will continue to run towards the sound of the guns so they can be silenced forever. The nation is not afraid of the NRA or Gunstrokers, our constitutional system is far more powerful than your semi-automatic killing machines. |

The 2 guns in Santa Fe were not assault weapons or even semi autos and both had "magazine capacities" far less than 10. In fact neither had any detachable magazine at all. |

Which has nothing to do with the overall point, I modified it for you below. You insult your own intelligence when you resort to parsing non pivotal words in the posts of other people. "Until people like you come up with truly effective solutions instead of inane distractions, the nation will continue to run towards the sound of the guns so they can be silenced forever.

I understand you are at least honest that you want to ban guns completely but that just makes you unrealistic. Even the most left wing politician will not run on that. |
