What does gun violence really COST

He can try an executive order if he wishes. Lots of law enforcement has already been on record saying they will not enforce such an executive order if they believe it is against the constitution. All he's doing is driving up the price of weapons.

I was at Cabelas not long ago. In a conversation at the gun desk it came up that Colorado's 2013(?) law banning magazines >15 rounds is being ignored by a few county sheriffs in the state. I was told they have "30 rd mags" and "100 rd drums" available for sale in those counties. I asked, "how can that be? The new state law prohibits >15 rds"... the response, "sheriffs in those counties are not enforcing that law as they believe it unconstitutional".

Oorah!

Guns don't kill people any more than "spoons make people fat".

Odumbo really needs to be "put in his place"... not that anyone has the balls to do it, apparently. Not Congress. Not the Supreme Court, sadly.

I think assault rifles should be illegal. I don't think a colt-45 should be illegal. Any gun with six small caliber rounds like .22, not automatic, should be legal.

Why not make guns with only two or three rounds for protection? Every gun should be finger-print enabled. No one else can use it but the owner. If you sell a gun, you have to go in and have the finger-print chip transferred.

"KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jean Peters Baker, the county prosecutor here, stood at her desk poring over Facebook photographs of young men posing with guns. One wore a grinning mask and pointed his gun at the camera. Another clasped guns in each hand. A third was laughing uproariously, his finger on the trigger of an assault rifle.

“This is our reality,” Ms. Peters Baker said, gesturing toward the pictures from recent investigations. “I’m not talking about my uncle who still lives on a farm in central Missouri and uses a gun for hunting.”

In the past decade, Missouri has been a natural experiment in what happens when a state relaxes its gun control laws. For decades, it had one of the nation’s strongest measures to keep guns from dangerous people: a requirement that all handgun buyers get a gun permit by undergoing a background check in person at a sheriff’s office.

But the legislature repealed that in 2007 and approved a flurry of other changes, including, last year, lowering the legal age to carry a concealed gun to 19. What has followed may help answer a central question of the gun control debate: Does allowing people to more easily obtain guns make society safer or more dangerous?

The mass shooting in San Bernardino this month has reignited that debate in America, and Missouri’s experience offers one perspective. It is difficult to isolate the impact of gun laws in a single state, given the pervasiveness of interstate trafficking and illegal markets, but a variety of measures, including a marked increase in police seizures of guns bought in-state, suggest the changes in Missouri’s laws have had some effect..."

Firearms safety class held in Northern Indiana this past weekend. Couple of my friends attended. Just seemed like a bit of an odd setting to me. Less than professional IMO.
