Agrees with pretty much everything twain has said in this thread. I too am all for gun rights. Hell..where I live it's a needed tool or I'd lose children and pets to coyote attacks. However I find it odd we can track a jar of peanut butter from the farm to you kitchen (in case of recall) but a deadly weapon can be so easily lost through the private sales loopholes. I'd like to see guns treated more like cars ..we should be licensed to operate, register them transfer if sold. And assault weapons should be for specifically licensed owners who have special training such as military and law enforcement. I think most gun owners would be ok with this. It wouldn't stop things like this altogether, but we should at least make it harder for the bad guys to get their hands on these weapons.
