How I believe the gun issues should be negotiated. [View all]
NRA starting position is no gun control. In fact no laws against guns allowed and we want more guns in more places. OK. Now "we" (being people who want reasonable gun laws) should start with the position, "Yes. We want to take all your guns and abolish the 2nd amendment." By starting with the position of "We don't want to take your guns away" it's like Obama giving up Universal Health care and Public Option before negotiating health care. We ended up with Obamacare full of GOP landmines. We should demand guns be registered and treated like automobiles. All and I mean all have to be insured. Negligent gun owners should be persecuted. Semi automatic weapons outlawed. None of this open or concealed carry. Accidental weapon discharges should be treated as negligent crimes. You can't start negotiations from the middle of the road. Maybe we can meet in the middle?
