OP here.

True, but ideally we will someday have tighter restrictions on who can legally own a gun. This, along with a nationwide movememt to get illegal guns off the streets would hopefully start to make a difference. A girl can dream, anyway.

What we need to do is make gun owners legally responsible for not reporting lost or stolen weapons subsequently used in a crime. This will allow us to prosecute straw purchasers as well as people who give their shifty friends a gun.

Individuals who legitimately have a gun stolen and promptly report it will not be harmed.

If we do this, after a few years, criminals will start having trouble getting guns.

It has been done for YEARS.

Cite the prosecutions and convictions.

NP here. No one is going to “cite the prosecutions and cconvictions” for you. This isn’t class, and you aren’t the professor. But the PP happens to be correxct. I recall a case in MD from the last couple years. I’m sure there are many more I don’t know about. If you actually cared, I’m sure you could find them all by yourself.

Total crime risk in Oxon Hill is the same as the national average. Murder risk is about 10 percent higher. Bye, Felicia.

Mass shootings grab the attention but actually don’t account for a large piece of gun deaths. We can not reduce these different types of gun violence with just one thing (getting illegal guns of the streets, eg), but it’s one element.

Our biggest problem on the issue of gun violence is we all get sucked into a vortex of trying to identify what will “fox” the most recent national incident.

Won’t work. People “reload” and manufacture it themselves. Almost all gun stores sell reloading equipment and it takes about as much skill as baking cupcakes. A huge ammo tax will just cause more of this.

So tax the kits?
