We have many prohibited possessors already.
The cure is not to attempt to stop them at the aquisition side, which clearly does not work; rather to enforce the prohibition of possession.
Actually dangerous, violent individuals are a very small percentage of the population.
The police need to actively monitor them and make sure they are unarmed, as is currently required by law.
We should also have a well defined method for people to have their rights restored. The prohibited possessor categories are generally too large. Most infractions are ignored.
David Kennedy has done great work on this.
Absolutely agree.
As gun owners, I feel like we’re locked in the death grip of a boa constrictor. Every slight lessening of our resistance leads to a further constriction by the snake. There is no give to the snake’s ever-tightening grip. Its desire is to eventually choke the life out of us.
