Once again we are asked to surrender our freedom in the pursuit of safety while ignoring the true problems that are the root cause of out of control population who possess guns illegally. We already have all the gun laws we need to prevent the sale of guns to minors, mentally challenged citizens, and criminals. Instead of creating even more useless laws for gun control it is time to plug the holes in our existing laws and start enforcing them.
No one has mentioned that gun owners should be required to keep their unattended guns secure with trigger locks and gun safes. This should be mandatory. I suspect enforcement of this one logical solution would remove many of the illegal weapons that find their way out of homes and onto the streets. Failure to secure your weapons should be considered a serious offense with heavy fines and jail time for second offenders.
Discussions on mental health issues and databases are brought up time and time again and then dropped like a political hot potato.
Any additional bright ideas you may have will be appreciated.
