Harvard Study: Gun Control is counter productive

[spin]

63. I have said here before ...

If the NRA endorses Mitt Romney who is NO friend of gun owners, I will cancel my membership.

If you want more Democrats to win election, I would suggest that you stop trying the push the Democratic party to support unusually strong gun control. Instead work to improve and better enforce existing gun laws.

In a few years many gun owners and those who don't own firearms but support RKBA will seriously consider rejoining or joining our party as we are right on almost every other issue.

President Obama has a very fair approach to gun control.

President Obama: We must seek agreement on gun reforms

• First, we should begin by enforcing laws that are already on the books. The National Instant Criminal Background Check System is the filter that's supposed to stop the wrong people from getting their hands on a gun. Bipartisan legislation four years ago was supposed to strengthen this system, but it hasn't been properly implemented. It relies on data supplied by states - but that data is often incomplete and inadequate. We must do better.

• Second, we should in fact reward the states that provide the best data - and therefore do the most to protect our citizens.

• Third, we should make the system faster and nimbler. We should provide an instant, accurate, comprehensive and consistent system for background checks to sellers who want to do the right thing, and make sure that criminals can't escape it.

Clearly, there's more we can do to prevent gun violence. But I want this to at least be the beginning of a new discussion on how we can keep America safe for all our people.
