I agree that if your guns are not secured you are an irresponsible gun owner, they are in a closet is an absolutely abhorrent statement.

That being said what are proposals that you feel would be sensible gun control measures.
I do not now nor have I ever owned a gun and don't have any intention of buying one.

What I want to see happen is for legislation to be enacted that might actually have an impact on gun crime. The AWB was a useless and worthless piece of legislation and should not be considered as a starting point for conversations.

Given the fact that the vast majority of gun crime is committed with handguns not long guns any legislation that solely focuses on long guns will have very little impact on gun crime, the Virginia Tech shooter used hand guns not "scary" looking "assault rifles".
What I want to see is a discussion and dialog about legislation that will actually make a difference.

In my opinion both sides have blood on their hands because neither is willing to discuss this issue.
All of the name calling, penis jokes, and general dismissal of owners does nothing to advance the cause of those of us that want to see common sense gun control enacted that will actually make a difference and save lives.
