Gun Control & RKBA

I prefer the term regulation. We regulate all sorts of products in all sorts of ways. Regulation is what keeps me from building a nuclear bomb in my backyard.

At the federal level, there should be a rigorous background check program including private sales. Private sales must go through a dealer. Federal law should require a state license system. The license system should require a course in gun safety and responsible gun ownership. The rest is left up to the states.

I think states should make a concerted effort to get guns out of the hands of criminals. The federal government should provide money to state and local law enforcement for this purpose.

Is crime prevention really THAT difficult? We have a system of laws and enforcement aimed at prevention of crime. Do you really think everybody just obeys the laws by themselves and if there were no enforcement at all, crime would not increase?
