[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 1115481, member: 22662"] It begins with two simple facts. First, nobody's Second Amendment rights are being infringed upon. The amendment does not prohibit regulation and the Supreme Court has a long history of upholding gun laws. Second is refuting the idea that gets put forth here all the time. We will not prevent every senseless killing or mass killing. That's not within the scope of anything put forth. Analogy: Your house was robbed by a thief coming in the back window. Lock the window but don't worry about the wide open front door. But the thief didn't use the front door. Is that any reason to leave it open? After 9/11, things got alot tougher in airports. Is that any reason to let law abiding citizens carry guns on planes? No. The hijackers didn't use guns. Doesn't matter. Universal background checks, mental health aptitude testing. Yearly should be sufficient. Close the loopholes. This should be a good start. Won't stop all violence or killing. That would require a complete gun ban. That's unconstitutional and wouldn't have any measurable support anyway. Beyond these steps, on site at schools I would support universal strip searches before arms d teachers. [/QUOTE]
