I favor the mandatory control of all AMMUNITION -- and its sparing release to gun owners for well documented purposes.
It would also be good if the ammunition allotted to a person were "marked" in some way, so that if a spent bullet at a crime scene were recovered, it could be traced back to the individual who owned that particular bullet.

Let me guess. You've never even held a gun....
...initiative could have stopped the shooting at the school in Georgia?
The facts are:
The shooter was a convicted felon.
The shooter was mentally ill.
The crime scene was a gun free zone.
The firearm was stolen.
Lets' take them one at a time:
The shooter was a convicted felon. Laws which restrict felons from owning, possessing or having a firearm in their custody or control would not have prevented the crime in question, since the weapon was stolen. However, had the felon been stopped and the weapon had been found he would receive a mandatory commitment to the State Prison for possession of stolen property and that sentence would be enhanced by his possession of a firearm.
The shooter was mentally ill. Laws which restrict the mentally ill from owning, possessing, etc a firearm are ineffectual do to HIPAA privacy restrictions. If I had my way anyone detained as a danger to themselves or others in a locked psychiatric facility should be flagged in the criminal records of the state and reflect their lack of eligibility without reason to licensed gun purveyors.
I also support laws to deny the right to own, possess, etc. a firearm to anyone convicted of DUI, domestic violence, battery with GBI, sales or transportation of drugs.
Gun Free Zone Again, a Gun Free Zone won't prevent a crime, but anyone in possession, etc. of a firearm within such a zone gets sent to jail. No ifs, ands or buts, a jail sentence is mandatory.
Stolen Firearm When the legal owner of the gun was careless I support holding him/her civilly culpable if that stolen gun is used in a crime.
No laws will prevent wanton violence. The proliferation of guns allows felons, the mentally ill and persons with a violent history easy access.
Forget about the guns."The proliferation of guns". Another meaningless phrase.
There are about 100M guns in the United States. Probably more. If we shut down every gun maker and importer, there would still be 100M guns. generally they have a service life of nearly forever (I own several that are over 100 years old and work fine). All of them are potentially available to criminals through theft, etc.

NONE. Di FI and others are making more noise...and talking out their ASSES as usual. They refuse to admit there are nutsy Fagin people/EVIL in the world and want to give the upper hand to criminals.Back to the top.
This topic has returned to the forefront again.
Armed with a legally purchased shotgun NOT AN AR-15, this shooter submitted to a background check plus he had an even more invasive security clearance background check.
What Constitutionally legal gun control would have prevented this shooting?
Among President Clintons first acts upon taking office in 1993 was to disarm U.S. soldiers on military bases. In March 1993, the Army imposed regulations forbidding military personnel from carrying their personal firearms and making it almost impossible for commanders to issue firearms to soldiers in the U.S. for personal protection. For the most part, only military police regularly carry firearms on base, and their presence is stretched thin by high demand for MPs in war zones.
Because of Mr. Clinton, terrorists would face more return fire if they attacked a Texas Wal-Mart than the gunman faced at Fort Hood, home of the heavily armed and feared 1st Cavalry Division. Thats why a civilian policewoman from off base was the one whose marksmanship ended Maj. Nidal Malik Hasans rampage.

The main effort should be to restrict and control access to ammunition.

I am not as dense as most of the people here. I can recognise irony when it hits me over the head with a two-by-four.
Intelligent irony I appreciate. Too bad yours is about two situations which can only be distantly equated and so are not very comparable.
