Yeah and there is the true problem, but I think I would have voiced it as "We have too many Sickos in our Society"

Now were you take every motor vehicle out... in today's world, it would see us in the dark ages.

Not trying to be rude - just think about it.

I do.
When guns are banned, only those that comply will be unarmed.
Police, military, and bad guys will still be armed. At that point could you differentiate between the three?
I cite Mexico as a glaring example.

1. Any Gun not in possesion of the owner must be locked up ie: some sort of Safe/Cabinet would be a law (these must be made in the US :p)
2. A "Gun Owner" license, much the same as a drivers license in fact might just be a Stamp on the drivers license like a MC stamp. that is a MINOR cost (monies go to School security) that says I can own a gun legally ie: answer all the BATF form questions... this must be re-newed periodically much like a driver's license.. This would also tie in with Health Care records to stop the "Mental Disorder" problems that seems to be a bigger issue then the weapons right now.
3. You must have had some sort of Firearm safety course, we already do this for hunters (in most states) so it is no big deal.

Simple easy solutions to many problems

Those are common sense solutions, but a license only gives you the privilege to do something the government has deemed to be otherwise illegal without.

Rights and privileges are different creatures.

Read carefully, I am not infinging on a right at all with this, I am simply qualifing each person within the laws that are already in effect..

ie: as a felon you have no right to own a weapon so you have no stamp

Take away the guns and it's an even shorter period of time.

It's a slippery slope. And we already know we can't trust DC.

The easiest way to stop school shootings is to just close the schools.
We'd get a huge tax savings that way too.

Ok just to reiterate - I do believe in American's right to own firearms - but am not convinced that semi auto ownership is needed.

That said:

This is a really poor example! Mexico is a great example of what happens when an impoverished nation takes to corruption and the rule of law is completely done away with by the lure of corrupt bribes and pay offs!

If every Mexican citizen was issued a handgun and a long gun... semi or not... It wouldn't make one lick of difference! Not one! There would just be more people killing each other.

Until they get some rule of law and their military in check NOTHING will change.

If one more person tells me that were the American military to become corrupted and fueled by greed vs. love of country - that an armed populous could stop them, I think I'll puke laughing!

The only thing you could do with your gun is take your own life and stop the machine!

I cannot argue that point :(

No, I'll stick with the "we have a sick society". The sickos come from somewhere and if we don't breed them directly we allow the circumstances to exist which allow these sickos to germinate into a problem. It is usually a decade or two, sometimes more, between birth and the ultimate tragedy.
