In reply to the discussion: Police: 4 people shot, 1 fatally, in Coney Island [View all]baldguy
(36,649 posts)3. Criminal gun owners get their guns from legal gun owners. But you knew that.
To disarm the criminals we'll need to greatly reduce the number of weapons in general circulation. Universal background checks (and keeping that info on file), national registration, national licensing, federal felony status & heavy fines for misplacing, mishandling or allowing minors or other non-licensed people access to your weapons.
In short, force "responsible gun owners" to be the responsible gun owners that they aren't now.
Yo want people to be responsible, don't you?

So when you asserted that my post was against all gun control, you were incorrect, yes?

You're more likely to be killed be someone you know than someone you don't know.
