There are idiots and nut jobs on both sides of the argument. Just because one liberal or one conservative says something, that doesn't mean that suddenly they all believe it. Rather than focus on these idiots and wackos I think it would be more constructive to actually..uhh..ya know...address the real issue at hand - which is of course that it's a) simply to easy for the wrong person to end up with a gun and b) there is no database to track the owner of a gun. Frankly I think that all guns sold should have the ballistics and owner's info stored in a database. Like how easy would that make the job for a cop? Someone gets shot - take the bullet, check the ballistics in the database - match with gun - match with owner - taadaa! You're 90% along the way of solving the crime. You combine that with background checks for EVERY GUN sold and I think there will be a massive amount of killings and shootings solved and prevented.
