Resident shoots burglar during home invasion

70. It seems that no real solutions are ever offered by gun controllers. In contrast, here's five:

1) Economic reform.

2) Increase prison time for criminals caught using firearms in their criminal activities. Separate gun-using criminals from guns in a real way by keeping them locked up longer.

3) Adopt universal mental-health care. The passage of the ACA, with penalties for those who don't purchase health insurance, is not a good alternative for universal mental-health care.

4) Stop demonizing people who choose to own firearms for lawful purposes such as deterring some criminals from engaging home invasions. Seek cooperation instead of alienation.

5) Drop the strategy which contributed to the loss of 58 seats in the House in 1994, and contributed to the shift of the control of Congress to the Republicans for the first time since 1954. Voters who own firearms for lawful purposes don't like it, including Democrats and Independents.


But these solutions will not be appreciated by Republican sock puppets nor people who are otherwise emotionally involved with responding to phrases such as "assault weapon," "automatic rifle," and variations on "It's for the children."
