> You want a gun? Ok, you’ll need a license (just like drivers) and part of getting one will include a psych evaluation, with, let’s say, a retest every 5 years. Live with other people in the household? They’ll need to get evaluated too.

sounds like a good approach. but that still will not prevent someone from killing kids at a school. paper laws are not the answer

they make assult shovels now. should we get shovel permits?

just about anything can be used as a weapon. it depends what the user wants to use it for.

i think we should invest into parents, kids and the future i said it before. we should try a real approach. taking guns from good people is not the answer. limiting what gun someone has is not the answwer. you can get killed just as easy with a home made ak as you can by a single shot encore.

we need better people everywhere. something creates bad people. something creates good people. lets find out what they are and make this world a better place for you and me.
