Go back and re-read my second paragraph again. I identified a number of items that I believe are the real issues. Issues such as putting known felons and the mentally ill out on the streets. Issues like allowing illegal immigrants, particularly those who commit violent crimes to remain here and on the streets. The fact is that the government blew it on this guy - he passed a BGC because they chose to ignore warning after warning about him. That's why I don't want to talk about finding more gun laws - they were already in place, and the system failed. He should never have passed the BGC to begin with. So what good would another law do, when those charged with upholding the law choose to ignore it, or in this case, out of sheer incompetence, fail to stop a killer?
I did - I was asking for ideas not issues - i believe we know what those are.
Nevertheless, if I take what you mention at face value and twist it around into an idea - you are indirectly proposing tougher laws in immigrants and those that are here illegally, not placing known felons on the streets with the mentally ill. if a known felon serves 6 years and fulfills his or her obligation to society - how does your idea work here?
Perhaps the BGC become more centered on mental illness
It's a start.
