Be careful that you aren't trying to push a specific solution due to a knee-jerk reaction to today's events. I've always been on the fence about gun control. There's good and bad parts (as with everything). However, bullet control is something I can totally agree with. Please don't downvote the following, but let me be the jerk in the audience that adds the basest of answers to your statements: - "Create a national commission to review our gun control laws" Look to Canada for the national gun registry, or any American commissions that are setup to investigate Bad Things (tm) that have happened. Most of the time it seems that money is spent and nobody is better off. - "Begin a national conversation on sensible gun control" Sensible people don't gun down innocents. Therefore can I logically conclude that sensible gun control won't apply to insensitive people? - "Start the process to enact Federal Gun control laws" There are laws against making and using bombs, and yet bombs still go off. That being said, bombs don't go off everyday, and thus each bomb that explode makes the news because it is such a rare occurrence. This is actually a good thing, because if it were happening all the time, we'd be a little more desensitized to it. Bombs aren't the problem, just like guns aren't the problem. Why? Because bombs and guns don't kill people by themselves (bear with me...). You have to look towards helping people that are willing to use those bombs and guns on people, and that may be a better deterrent to mass killings than any gun control legislation can ever be. Edit: sadly, this just came over the wire and validates my point. Man slashes 22 children with a knife. Should we institute senisible knife control, or should we start looking at why people do these things? http://www.inquisitr.com/438276/man-slashes-22-children-with-knife-in-china/ http://www.inquisitr.com/438276/man-slashes-22-children-with...
