Thanks Aunt Sam. I'd like to see a registry as well--but I think holding owners to a higher standard is initially more do-able--especially since in the owners' words, "people kill people."

Respectfully, I think this is

"We will lead by example. America will no longer kill people, anywhere. There is no justification for murder. We will become a Nation of farmers, as we turn our spears into plowshares, in order to eliminate fear and hunger."

This is an excellent post and I support your stance.

I am going to repost a comment here that I put in your other blog:

I will preface this comment by stating that yes, I doubt it will ever happen, but....

I think that gun owners should have to register all their guns - implement a federal law that all have 90 days to complete simple registration forms (i.e. name, address of owner, DOB with proof of identity presented much like driver's/marriage license; type of gun and serial number). This would all be inputted into national database for law enforcement access if weapon used in crime, etc.

If after the deadline any are found to be in possession of unregistered gun, they not only forfeit that one, but any and all others they possess and pay large fine.

Of course, all sales or gifts of guns must adhere to same process but with background checks etc.

It's just common sense.

I do think Biden is the perfect messenger and I'm hoping that most, if not all, the law enforcement people he meets with will passionately support him. But, unless We, The People, get involved in a big way, I don't think there's a chance any strong legislation that will truly effect change will prevail.

Greatly appreciate erica.
