There's just no way to ease into this conversation. Any discussion of guns — even, or perhaps especially, in the wake of a horror like the mass shooting last weekend in Orlando — devolves quickly into two extremes: All guns are bad, or all guns are good.
It shouldn't have to be that way.
Existing U.S. laws offer real, practical ways to reduce the number of guns on American streets — guns purchased and used illegally. It seems like we should be able to agree on that, that federal, state and local governments should work to keep legally manufactured guns off the black market.
It would be a rational place to start. |

| Great idea keep illegal guns off black market. Should be easy just like we did with drugs. |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
