The Problem is that irresponsible people have access to weapons.


Especially Politicians and badge-toters.

Fix that problem and the innocent will stop dying.


Not very bloody likely!

You seem to forget that more people die from illness, automobiles, old age,
etc., than from any weapon usage.

Requiring psych testing for gun ownership and usage would be a good
first step.


Most Pshrinks are nuts - are you REALLY saying that you want a nutcase to
be the one that makes the decision?

SEVERE penalties for allowing others unauthorized access to your
weapons would be another.


Given the co$t of firearms these days, the penalty for Grand Theft already
applies since UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS denotes theft.

Are you REALLY saying that the person whose firearm, knife, ball bat, hunk
of rebar, 2x4, etc. was stolen should be IMPRISONED or FINED? If so, you
must be a Pshrink.
