#71: I'm also a former law enforcement officer, (WSP, now retired) but I totally disagree with you. Sensible gun control CAN work, but needs to be uniform and will take time. We need to get the assault weapons off the street, and should have substantially stronger ownership and registration laws.

Guns don't kill people, people do. What a bunch of bullshit. People with guns kill people. If people don't have guns, it's a hell of a lot harder to kill people. To compound the problem, our media feeds these needy individuals with wall-to-wall 24-7 coverage of these events, which some of the perps obviously crave.
How about this as a first step? ALL firearms must be registered and titled like cars are. Any registered owner can be held (at least partially) responsible for crimes committed with that weapon? This would certainly close the gun show loophole and more.
And maybe second step: require massive liability insurance (like with cars) to cover any harm caused by the weapon. Seems to me to be a good place to start!

Seattle Is the Most Likable City in America.
And for those complaining about the new paint job on the space needle, are you REALLY Seattleites? That is the original color of the needle and is being done until the fall to honor the 50th anniversary of the Century 21 Exibition, which singlehandedly took Seattle to be a backwater nothing town to a World Player.! So shut up!

Hey I'm a native that -- because of my career -- moved from Seattle to Los Angeles for 25 years before I moved back. The good news is I I sold in LA at the height of the market. The even better news is I LOVE being back in the Great Pacific Northwest!!!
