The toll of recent mass shootings across the country has prompted the formation of a new group in Sacramento with a goal of "sensible" gun control.
The newly formed Sacramento chapter of "Everytown for Gun Safety-Moms Demand Action" prayed on the steps of the state Capitol Wednesday night for the victims of the Texas church shooting.
The group said it focuses on legislation that helps keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them. Their greatest challenge is getting stronger background checks across the nation. |

My suggestion for sensible gun control.
Get rid of all gun laws restricting honest citizens' rights. That will leave laws against felons in possession and straw purchases.
And then prosecute anyone that uses a gun in the commission of a crime and sentence them to the maximum time in prison for the crime.
No plea bargain, no parole. Maximum sentence for the crime. Get the miscreants off the streets and watch the crime and murder rate go down.

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
