What we desperately need is a uniform, reasonable permit process for gun
purchases across the whole US. Similar to what many states already have.
The local police chief issues the permit, after a real background check
that includes pulling all available police files from the local to national
level, checking with employers, references, with your school if you are
a recent graduate. And then the permit can be denied if you are an
alcoholic, drug user, have a criminal record, mental problems, where
the police chief finds that it would not be in the interest of public
safety.

IAWTP.
Sociopaths(that includes many that post here) should have
their guns taken from them. Even if they are "pried from their cold
dead hands" - as they often like to say in moments of drunken
"machismo".**
Sociopaths -1 : Normal People +1
The murder rate would plummet.

PS **Real scenario= Old men with their pants soiled back and front
with fear handing over their guns while trembling uncontrollably. And
saying "sorry, I forgot I had guns" over and over again, as if that
was an excuse for breaking the law.
Of course, gangland would have a lot of casualties. None
anybody would care about. Call it "collateral damage".
