      <![CDATA[How about mandatory gun safes? Especially for bigger weapons that don't have a specific hunting use. Maybe for more than 2 or 3 guns? If someone's willing to spend that much time and effort collecting guns they should have to prove they own a safe that can hold them when they aren't in use. I don't think we should require use of them, but I know from experience that when you give someone the tools to be safer normally they are safer without having to tell them, it's just about having the tools and it should be seen as an expense that if you want that many guns please show me that you're not just lying them around your home. Cheers.

Why bother? It's more fun to to listen to you clowns repeating your same daily talking points than to engage with you.<br />
<br />
Any time you get a serious answer to your demands, your cognitive dissonance kicks in and your brain erases every fact you've been given. You revert back to square one and start chanting from the top of your script.<br />
<br />
This is why everyone laughed at the NRA's so-called "plan" today. They're simply not serious about real solutions. They're job is obstruction. Your job is obstruction. Everyone can see it.

      <![CDATA[I propose an additional policy of an owner's complete responsibility for how a gun is used, regardless of who fires it. Shouldn't an owner of a deadly weapon make absolutely, positively sure that no one other than himself has any possible access to that weapon? If a kid gets his hands on it, if it can be and is stolen from the owner, or if someone other than the owner uses it to commit suicide, the owner is held negligent for allowing that weapon to be used.

      <![CDATA[Why bother regulating anything at all if we can't even regulate the one thing that sprays death upon countless Americans? Why do we regulate ladders? Why swimming pools? Why, when I open a bottle of vitamins, do I see a "protective seal" for my safety? I don't care about regulating vitamin packaging. I care about regulating semi-automatic assault rifles.

      <![CDATA[Completely agree, @2, my point being that we need to can the "there's no way we can defeat the NRA, they're too big" attitude that is so pervasive.  We, the 98.6% can bring about change. -Mr. Sperifera

      <![CDATA[Good point, Ms Sperifera, but that 1.4% is <b>VERY</b> active, while only 33% of the American public bothers to get involved at all in voting for President (about 120 million citizens voted in 2012).  As we learn, being a minority does not mean being silent and ineffective.  <b>IF</b> America wants an end to Gun violence lots and lots and lots of people are going to have to get involved, and the track record of popular involvement is not encouraging.
