Remember, It failed 54 to 46, five Democrats voted against it. Four Republicans voted for it.

11. I sent this suggestion to the WH tonight. It's just a possible start.

Suggestion for gun control

First, this suggestion is aimed at ONE group of weapons for now…those kinds of assault weapons that allow a shooter to shoot massive rounds of ammo at many people at one time. I am no gun guru so I don’t know the specific names or types of weapons that would be covered. The intention is to cover automatic, multiple firing, assault weapons of all kinds…long, short, modified etc.

The technology is already available for doing this since we can locate a cell phone anywhere in the world without any difficulty.

I propose that ALL weapons of the type above be GPS tagged with a device that would allow detection within 500 yards of a signaling device.

All schools (from day care to University level) and all public gathering places (malls, theaters, government buildings, Planned Parenthood clinics, hospitals, churches etc. be equipped with responding devices that would set off an alarm whenever a weapon of the type covered was within 500 yards of the public building.

A date certain would be set by the Congress as to when all such weapons should be equipped the tags . STIFF penalties should be set for non-compliance with the tagging law. Violators would be subject to huge fines and mandatory imprisonment for violations and non-compliance.

Certain magazines and ammo would also be likewise tagged.

This proposal does not cover individual fire arms like hand guns unless they are modified to be multiple firing assault weapons.

The details of the enforcement would still have to be worked out.

This will not stop all killings by firearms but it would go a long way to prevent the type of mass shootings we are seeing almost every month.
