9. If saving one life from guns comes from 150 new laws, it is worth it. And also write more tickets.

I like the idea of tickets of having a camera ticket everyone who runs red lights or speeds

Take away the insurance aspect, as cameras can't tell who is driving, but its a win/win/win

If you do the crime, do the time. Pay the fine.

If one isn't speeding or running red lights, they won't get a ticket.
And there will be a camera to prove it.

Cameras are a good thing
Transparency is good, but only if applied to law enforcement. Let's video everything.
I have nothing to hide.

And lets get 100% of guns out of the street
with camera and sensors to tell us when a gun is on the street
(after changing the laws)

and let's reclassify mass shootings as terrorist wmd events, and let's deal with it, like was done in Oklahoma City.
19 kids died in Oklahoma, 20 kids in CT, plus 6 adults
I see no difference, so let's treat it the same

and if there are laws to get the streets free of guns (while letting private owners keep their guns in the house), then it will stop these incidents

I would have zero tolerance for mass shootings.
And say 25 years added to sentences for anyone who fires more than one shot in the street.
(also have zero release of names of shooters, that way they avoid becoming famous from nutjobs).
