I think too much attention and energy is focused on trying to ban AR15s (I'd be all for raising the age to purchase and own them to 21/use requiring someone over 21 being present) but focus should be on how to reduce number deaths where handguns are used.

Still think my ideas of incentivizing the sale and development of smart weapons(which is essentially banned in this country), gun safes, better locks and training are good ones.

We should distinguish between homicides and mass shootings.

True but then that changes the agenda of the anti gun control.


Just a point of interest here. We passed a Bill protecting the the SC Justice's faster then we pass one to protection our children in school ,think about that.
