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 |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
