bruce-- I see you have a conservative's notion of what "strict" gun laws might be. Let me craft a few laws and set up the rules to enforce them...and a few years to undo all the harm already done, and we will see. (Fat chance of THAT happening, huh?)

Indeed, gun laws with many loopholes and few teeth will protect no one....and a country with millions upon millions of unregistered and/or unregulated guns will not be safe no matter WHAT the laws about using and carrying are.
