What laws can be passed to get the guns out of the hands of criminals and those mentally ill?

It is too easy to get guns illegally.

Why should the citizen who is trained... a hobbyist... sane... collector... have to forfeit their rights just to remain legal when the laws will not purge the guns from the criminal and mentally ill?

If a sane, non-criminal gun owner wants to own a thousand guns and some of them be an AK15 type, who is he hurting? If he wants to go shooting at the range or on the backside of his ranch, why should the fearmongers get their say over this fine citizen?

We all have charts.

More guns... less killings.

The charts and graphs are fine but they will be credible only when the demographics are part of any conclusions.

In tandem with my blog calling on conferences at Baylor, Wake Forest and Mercer, maybe this is a tipping point but is Trey Gowdy paying attention.


What would Bonhoeffer and Will Campbell say in this moment, Marney or even George W. Truett, Lincoln, Frank Johnson, King and Hugo Black?

Part of Jon's statement is on target. Stolen guns are a big part of the market, and gun thefts work so well because so many gun owners, afraid of government and even of their own insurance companies, never register serial number of their firearms, even on their insurance. Having failed to register these, then when they are stolen, they become totally untraceable. That feeds the gun market. Having worked in a 911-center and being responsible to enter theft reports, I can attest to how often no serial numbers were provided to officers so that the guns could be traced and gotten off the market, black or gun show markets?

But lots of more or less law-abiding citizens *do* fear accountability, because they've been told by people they trust more than they trust the govenrment that "Obama's coming for your guns" and so on.
