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 |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
