CJ, Much better would be to have universal registration and allow bodies like the CDC to go back and study gun violence so we can work out better solutions. But that isn't going to happen. Actually I'm fine with universal registration. It's a better solution that mandatory insurance. Why can't it happen? Because of the NRA zealots? They'll oppose anything, you know. Including mandatory insurance. Tenchusatsu

George Zimmerman is a perfect example. Hardly - that was a simple case of self defense - even the Justice department came to that conclusion. Have you bothered to consider Trayvon was a criminal in training - he would have been in jail for something by now. One more lost black youth - focusing on Zimmerman does not change the fact society failed Trayvon and many more black youth just like him daily in Chicago and other major cities. Often it is a person with a history of violence and possessing a firearm makes it easier for them to escalate. The majority of gun/violent crime is gang related - and they did not acquire their guns via legal means. I see you avoid the black on black gun crime subject like the plague and always focus on the sensational gun news story of the day - which is never the typical or most common gun crime. But the tired old ideas keep getting trotted out while kids keep dying daily in big cities - completely unnoticed. Black lives matter - hardly. Stop and frisk was targeted at stopping crime and saving lives - look at the rapid increase in violent crime in NY. A database does not stop crime or reduce violence. allow bodies like the CDC to go back and study gun violence They and the FBI have already done this and do this every year and the number has been dropping steadily for two decades.
