(1,884 posts)There is lots of things that can be done without violating the 2nd Amendment. Guns and ammunition cross state lines, so interstate commerce laws should apply for dangerous items.
Another keep a national data base record of the legal owner of all firearms. All sales and transfers need to be properly recorded and tracked.
When a gun is used in a crime, the legal owner of record is held responsible. You know like when a robbery goes sideways and someone is killed, all responsible for the robbery are charged with the murder. The effect of this will be to make felons of those supplying the criminals with weapons, relieving them of their arsenals.
It then should not take more that a few mouths to cull and incarcerate the worst of the so-called good guys from the herd. You know those the think the 2nd Amendment is absolute and most firearm laws are unconstitutional and anything they want to do is legal. By eliminating the worst of the offenders, this will allow some common sense to appear and then we can start cleaning up the rest of the problem and join the rest of the civilized countries.
