What does “maximize” mean?

Exactamundo.

Also, he says he wants to maximize enforcement in order to prevent gun violence.

Which is it? Enforcement or prevention? Two different things. Is he going to announce the hiring of Superman to prevent crime? Or maybe Batman and The Boy Wonder?

Or is he going to create a new Agency called the Bureau of Pre-Crime? The ersatz Thought Police? Very ambiguous and thereby, dangerous.

>> Which is it? Enforcement or prevention?

When I read between the lines on this one, I come away thinking the purpose is to come down HARD not on gun owners but on gun *dealers*.

How many dealers do you think have a perfectly clean accounting of inventory vs. 4473s? Are they in need of stepped-up “enforcement” of existing rules to “prevent” guns getting into the wrong hands?

Make ‘em miserable, drive a lot of the smaller ones with less stamina out of the business.

That leaves fewer, bigger ones (WalMart, Cabela’s, Big Five, etc.) — and those are much easier to pressure.
