>1) As a prerequisite to owning a gun you should first need to get a state issued license that you only get after passing a test (just like a driver’s license)
2) Then you should have to buy some form of (cheap) minimum liability insurance coverage for gun owners. Past history of mental illness? Bipolar? Sorry, no insurance is going to sign you on = no gun for you.
3) Then your gun would be registered under your name with a state department, and you would have to wait a few weeks until the department issues the registration and the store releases the gun to you – cooling down period for crimes of passion
4) Every gun, every weapon legally produced in the US should have an identification number engraved and registered to make the proliferation of illegal guns – at least the ones we make and sell in the US – more difficult.
Nothing of the above will prevent or eradicate crime. There still will be a black market where professional bad guys can get anything they need. But a sad nutcase like the Virginia Tech monster or the next bunch of mentally disturbed teen-age kids who are already out there planning to shoot more then 32 when their meltdown happens would be less likely to get those guns. Make it more difficult. Save some lives. At least try to.<
Yea, you’re a real brainyack.
So let’s think about this, you’re going to create all these guidelines to gun ownership, or take it a step further, as some would like, and make them illegal.
Ok, so that will solve the problem, or at least lessen the risk of being shot by some wacko.
But….. drugs are illegal, and very easy to come by, even if you aren’t a “professional junkieâ€. We have even had a “war†on drugs since Regan and they are still so easy to acquire that middle schoolers are doing them. But hey, guns would be much harder to get into this country than drugs right? No way they could get them across the boarder. Yeah let’s make them hard to get legally and the problem will just go away.

I don't understand. You want to legalize drugs? Maybe you are right, that would make things better...
If you read the entire thread you will see that other people already tore up my "proposal" and they did a better job at it then you did. Forget about it.
I don't know what the solution is. But generic whining - there is nothing at all that can be done to improve the situation - is not something that I will endorse. I haven't heard anyone suggest anything about how to improve the situation. All I hear is how things cannot get better, only worse. The only exception is the enforcing of laws that already exist. Well, I'm all for it... but why didn't that work already?
Maybe you like the way things are now. I don't. I'm a woman, I don't want to have to carry a gun when I leave the house. There are children, elderly people and all the "weak" who rely on a minimum of safety and protection. If that's not part of America any longer then I don't know what to say...
I live on the westside of LA, where the average response time of a police patrol is 7 minutes. I feel safe enough. I don't trust the government with much, but I trust your vision of an armed militia even less, since this militia is doing nothing to improve anything, and it certainly is not improving my safety.
Stop criticizing my post, say something constructive. Where are the solutions?

 MMM…..Ritalin...Nice job throwing the mother insults at me right away dude...but to answer you question No I don't get my mother's permission for a lot of stuff I do...However. Your Naive look on the world and is not only remedial, but its also down right idiotic …The "War on drugs" is the worst hunk of shit that this government has tried to use to stop the Drug Epidemic. I really think that is the absolute oppisit of what we should be doing to keep guns out of the hands of crazy people Why don’t you come live in western pa were the crazy rednecks would hit on you at a bar…then when they find your man meet between your legs they would more then likely beat you to death for making them uncomfortable with their sexuality…Then you can tell me your idea’s on removing gun’s from everyone… When you decided to return from whatever fantasyland your currently living in let me know. Until then Go mutilate your dick so you can finally feel like a woman and sit down to pee…. Look can someone bump this to the cage…I think a Tranny is about to get bitched slapped…
 
First of all, troll, keep in mind I wasn't the one who began hurling the insults. Talk about remedial: it's "opposite" not "oppisit", "bitch slapped" not "bitched slapped" "meat" not "meet", and "you're" not "your" [Mommy keep you home from school that day - or was it daddy?  ] Keep in mind there's a spell checker on this site as well for future reference... Tell me - what makes you any different from the other trash in Western PA? When you lose an argument, you resort to bigoted and hateful personal attacks [and not particularly funny ones at that] - ones that clearly show how uncomfortable you are with your own sexuality - or anybody else's for that matter. As far as the specious comparison with the war on drugs, I didn't bring that up, although I'm happy to comment on what a moronic comparison you've fashioned out of it - but then it seems as though the others have already pointed that out to you. Well, I wish you the best in your quest to one day actually experience sex...then you wouldn't have to come vent your frustrations on the rest of us. By the way, I think I'll pass up the tempting invite to move to Western PA, I prefer L.A. Hope your gun doesn't accidentally go off when you're cleaning it next time. Bitch-slapped indeed!

You know what, maybe there is no solution to this, maybe it’s like trying to prevent automobile accidents. Maybe, just maybe, if some wacko is intent on harming others he’s going to find a way, whether it is a gun, knife, bomb, or a big stick with a rusty nail in it.
You’re standing in front of two houses and are intent on entering one of them and causing a ruckus.... robbery, rape, maybe even murder. You know the occupants of one house own and know how too/will use a firearm. The other house is gun free, which do you enter?

Amen to that. Wise words. I've nothing else to add to this, I'm moving on to the next topic...

US Department of Justice files show that in every city/state that has allowed the private citizen the right to carry a firearm in public (Arizona, New Mexico, Florida, to name a few) has seen a large decrease (sometimes more than a 50% drop) in all violent crimes.
IF the bad guys know that the good guys are armed, they think twice.
An armed society is a polite society.
