On the surface, this seems like it could be a reasonable proposition,
but it's worth noting that Adam Lanza didn't buy the guns he used to
commit his massacre, and Nancy Lanza almost certainly would have
"passed" a background check. In other words, if this proposal had
been in effect prior to the Newtown massacre, it would have had no
effect in preventing the massacre.

This is the classic illogic of hysterical leftists: use an event to
try to enact a fix that would not have prevented the event.

Hmm , the guys that do the crimes are already breaking laws ... what makes
anybody think that they'll obey any new ones ? This is the major flaw in any
gun ban/register/grab scenario , IMO . More laws won't make any difference
in the people that shouldn't have guns , they're aleady breaking the law !

Bull****.

About 1/2 of all murders are committed by someone with no previous convictions.

In other words, it was perfectly legal for them to own a gun....
