39. "more better laws" don't seem to have worked. Your proposals?

You should respect pro-2A folks here more:

"Are you advocating allowing criminals and the insane to walk into a store and buy a handgun, extended magazines, and all the ammo they want? That's not clever, that's inane.

"*Insert picture of Jared Lee Loughner*"

This is the kind of approach advocates of gun-control have usually take. The response you got from One-eye was on point. No one here advocates what you are asking, "clever" or otherwise. BTW, there are more than a few people who think the NICS b.g. test probably has no effect on thwarting criminal activity, and in all honesty, I cannot dispute them. Yet, I continue to support the law. Gun-controllers wanted the law, they got the law. The fact you seem to think it ineffective probably points up what critics of NICS have said: This and many other gun-control laws are not effective in thwarting crime.

NOTE: Cho of Virginia Tech infamy did not use "extended magazines" to commit the worst mass-murder on a college campus. He used additional magazines, and even had a spare pistol. "Extended magazines" probably just got in the way.
