I'm not anti gun but this situation has gotten completely out of hand.

I think we should do what they do in Iceland. Guns are registered there. Guns are allowed if people really need them for something -like the farmers who need them for predator control or for hunting. No handguns or automatic guns or rifles.

I think they had 4 deaths last year. And one was a suicide and one other one was an accident.

They think our love of guns is crazy. I agree with rhem. I think it's crazy, too.
