Anti-gun silliness from the Hartford Courant. Comments are easy to make, though, and don't seem to require registration.

Many violent urban crimes and college campus shootings could be prevented if Congress would pass laws
to impose foolproof methods of stopping legal guns from getting into the wrong hands.

This would be impossible. Like the old saying goes, Locks are made to keep honest people out.
Also, if someone wants to commit a crime, no law will stop them. Only law abiding citizens obey the law
and punishing them will not prevent anything.

Faulty premise on two counts. 1: That Government could do ANYTHING effective at all. 2: The issues isn't too many guns on the streets. It's that not enough law abiding folks carry to protect themselves and others.

Why didn't we think of this before!

Let's apply these same "foolproof methods" to all criminal activities. They can also be used to protect the people from shoddy journalism with it's never ending lies, half truths and omissions.

Restricting illegal gun traffic is a law enforcement issue, not a Second Amendment issue.

How does Congress restrict something that is illegal?

Do they make it really, really, really Illegal?
