Gun Control & RKBA

(1,941 posts)I take issue with people focusing specifically on so called "gun violence" which generally means the sum of suicides and homicides in an effort by controllers to confuse people into thinking the statistic is a tally of all homicides.
I think a > 50% reduction in the homicide rate is potentially feasible, and the suicide rate as-is is probably already low enough but could be lower with improvements in mental heath services to significantly impacted populations.
I am not willing to support any new gun restrictions, including UBCs, without significant compromise from controllers. National concealed carry reciprocity, repeal of the Hughes Amendment, revoking sections of GCA '68, and substantial changes to the NFA. With those compromises, I would consider supporting UBCs with exemptions for family.
