I really don't follow these stories, because they don't concern me. The laws all appear to be useless. The system is totally broken. Anyone can get a gun in this country. They are everywhere. That's not a healthy society unless the owners are responsible. Result is we end up with lots of good guys with guns they never use. And lots of bad guys looking to steal and use those guns and it seems to be working very well for all of you and the NRA and the gunsmiths and dealers.

Not working too well for the 100,000 gun victims every year. Not working too well for the taxpayers who pick up the tens of billions of dollars in medical and other associated costs.

Don't ask me to fix it. You want to keep your guns. You guys start coming up with ideas, because the backslapping isn't going to carry you much further.
