I am fine with making it harder for the average person to get guns. Doesn't bother me at all. However, I do think that we need to increase the consequesnces for committing a crime with a gun 10-fold.

We have a huge issue with guns in this country. We consistently rank near the top of the list when it comes to crimes committed with firearms and shootings. Other countries where guns are illegal have much better statistics than we do.

Something needs to be done. Many of you probably lock your guns up and do what you are supposed to do, but a lot of people don't. You guys who go to the range or whatever will go through the mess of getting one if you want it bad enough. I sure don't think making guns easier to get will send us in the right direction.

Here is a great idea. In this rough economy, why doesn't the gov't step up and offer a cash premium for people to turn in hand guns? Even illegal ones on an anonymous basis. Cash for guns would be great right about now with everyone hurting so bad.
