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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
