A professor would not have been able to murder his ex-wife and two of her colleagues this weekend if he'd only had a BIC. He is now on the run, "armed and dangerous" as they say, leaving behind two small children now motherless and witness to her murder.

Two cops who answered a domestic disturbance would not be dead if the man who shot them, killed by cops himself after, had only a BIC. The list/killing is endless. I don't give a shit what was meant back when, what I care about is doing something about it NOW. Much of what BillD has suggested is specifics, workable, imo, and at least may offer some solutions.
