Subject: RE: BS: Another wacked out guy with a gun....
Sorry, Gnu, but I ain't a-gonna wade thru a thousand pages of legalese, however germaine or useful. Yep, I own firearms of all types, have been trained to use 'em & practice regularly.

As stated repeatedly by others, the first rational steps would be:

1. To close the Gun Show loophole

2. To strengthen and regularize State laws/regulations across the country (or enact a Fedural Statute to accomplish the same thing) so that some slug can't purchase a handgun in a state like Florida (there are others), where the only requirement is that the purchaser be breathing (and that can be waived upon application) bring it to New York, which has some of the most rational regulations in the country, and shoot someone there.

These changes have been proposed, lobbied & fought for over a period of decades by a number of EXISTING organizations in the U.S.- Here's One - no need for "Mudcatters Against Criminal Stupidity" - to no avail. It ain't the NRA - its the mindless fu*ks that the NRA is able to terrorize - same folks as the Birthers, Flat-Earthers, and the host of other mental deficients that infest the nation.

Some folks - and their numbers are increasing exponentially- are impervious to facts, Gnu, and I wish I knew (or Gnu?) how to address THAT problem.
