Coming up on the 75th anniversary of Kristallnacht.
Author Stephen P. Halbrook has spent years researching the Weimar Republic and has recently unearthed documents that leave no doubt that gun confiscation was a lynchpin in Hitler's plan to control not only the Jews, but the entire civilian populace as well. Registration was key.
It is always the same. The rationale is appealing.
"We can make a safer world."
Ya, right.

^Ron for president You want to make people responsible for their actions and not blame objects. This would be a step to actually help the problem not just feel good for doing something even if it does not work.

In all sincerity, sometimes i feel like local LEOs just watch the gang activities to "tally" for more funding.
True dat. It is called job security. Part of the Legal/Security industry.

I have to strongly disagree with Ron and reilly, Every time a officer or productive citizen shoots one of the gang bangers I see pictures of them as children and am told they were such good people. I never see there gang pictures and hear about there criminal record. From what the media tells me we need more gangs not less (sips more koolaid........) This is probably bushes fault.

If kids had guardians that would spend time with them instead of plunking them down in front of televisions or video games for the first 15 years of their lives, maybe they wouldn't be so angry and violent.

A couple questions:
Are there any studies that show most shooters had bad parents? Yet you seem pretty convinced the problem stems from bad parenting.
Are there any studies that show most shooters had guns? Yet you seem pretty convinced restricting gun access will do nothing.
What do you expect from a population spawned by greed-fueled religious idiots?

FACT: statistics prove the vast majority of gang shooters are atheists(1). We need compulsory church attendence.
