As far as I can tell, the only "sensible" gun laws to stop gun violence in this country would be a repeal of the 2nd Amendment followed by a federal ban on all firearms, a mandatory turn-in, and a house-to-house search conducted by armed law enforcement agents for all firearms not turned in. Add to this, mandatory life in prison for anyone found in possession of a firearm after the turn-in period.

Until this happens, everything else is just a "feel good" measure that will do nothing to curb gun violence.

Do you think any of the above is going to happen?

Oh, and thanks to computers it's now fairly easy to make an fully-functional AR-15 in your garage so that cat's out of the bag as well.
