10. But what if you had to show a license to buy guns or bullets?

No one doubts that some people will always get around laws. The question is why do we allow it to be easy???

If this guy was known to the police, his family, etc. as unstable and a criminal - then he should not have been able to buy guns and bullets.

Right now, an unstable person can walk into Walmart and buy weapons.

About the same number of people are killed by guns as auto accidents. If pipe bombs start killing that many people, then it will get my attention.
