Jeff...I want to hang out with you. :lol:

I'll buy the beverages :thumbsup:

Jody, that's my guess too: that a more universal background check for gun sales is instituted, along with better cooperation from the states.

I hope we end up with an ATF that has a commissioner and renewed vigor to pursue criminal gun sales and the like.

I'll spring for the snacks! :thumbsup:

Jeff-

I got dibs on the brass. :hello:

books take too long....editing, rewrite and then publish. I think some need to just plain go outside and get cultured. :confused59:

Lanza didn't buy any guns. He stole them.

In he midst of all this gun control hysteria, people are proposing laws that would not have even prevented this tragedy.

I wasn't proposing any laws; I was suggesting we give our main agency charged with investigating criminal gun behavior more tools to do their job.

Isn't the main argument many make that making new laws won't affect criminal behavior? Why wouldn't we welcome better crime-fighting efforts targeted at criminals with illegal guns?

As far as Lanza goes, his killing spree brought a spotlight on gun law enforcement, and our country has been found wanting: there are millions of guns obtained from illegal activity and in criminal hands. Let's enforce our existing laws, and give the ATF what it needs.

I agree. That's why the latest reduced capacity magazine laws make no sense. They do not affect criminals, they only handicap legal owners using a gun in self-defense.

And then there's the argument of why you need 30 rounds to "defend" yourself... spoken by folks who've never seen a young entrepenuer with three 9mm slugs in him, run a half mile to his auntie's house and hide in the closet. "Yeah, dispatch... his belly hurts 'cause it's got these three new orifices oozing blood..."
