37. I want a mandatory national registration for firearms and a mandatory background check for ...

every single gun transfer. How is that watered down?????? I'd like to see any male involved in a separation, divorce, child custody battle unarmed. I say any person who arms himself purely for self defense and isn't a cop or legitimately in security is a fool and is dangerous to the rest of us. I think Concealed Carry is stupidly dangerous to the rest of us. Watered down? I think not.

I think you are arguing your points to the emotions. At least acknowledge the facts: gun violence is way down in the last 20 years, gun violence is the third (by a large factor) cause of death to kids - after poisoning and auto accidents, that there's about as many guns as there are cars in US society - and go from there.

Why do you think slamming me is more important than accepting the facts and honing your argument to them? It certainly isn't because firearms are the only or even largest cause of death to children.

Another thing I'd do if I was made gun czar - no internet sales, all private sales made through a federally licensed gun dealer, like I had to do back in the 80's when I sold my AR-15 to a friend who lvedin the same town as me.
