An Odessa doctor is on cnn saying every American needs to learn how to compress a gunshot wound

7. There's only one solution: tough gun control laws.

Severely restrict who can pocess (not merely buy) a gun. Require periodic relicensing, retraining and demonstrable marksmanship skills. Proof of adequate liabilty insurance would be a prerequisite for purchase and licensing.

Turn them in, buy them back, slap on the harshest penalties for scofflaws. If the constionionalists demand their guns then let them have the same black powder guns that were available to our Founding Fathers.

I'm damn sick and tired of how the majority of non-gun owning citizens have to bunker in to protect ourselves from the gun nuts. I don't want to live in a Mad Max world where the ability to treat gunshot victims is considered normal. I and sick worrying about kids getting shot at school or at a playground, their own birthday parties, or just sitting on their front porch.

I don't want to read tomorrows headlines about active shooters. I don't want to risk life at the mall, or a church, a business, schools or become a victim of senseless random freeway murders. I'd rather see a small newspaper article on page 6, section C that says the owner of an illegal gun was arrested on a tip and charged for not complying with gun control laws.
