I think that 'gun control' should consist of a background check only.
You will never be able to completely stop all illegal and straw purchases, but punish enough of the ones that do, severely, and you can certainly contain it.
Gun bans will never work without doing a nationwide sweep like new orleans after katrina and even then it would have to be done numerous times. That will never fly though. you'd get that uprising then.
the assault weapons/automatic weapons issue....this is going to sound crazy to you but I think that it should be completely lawful for people to own them....lots of them. I picture gang bangers afraid of doing drive by shootings knowing that they could potentially have the crap shot out of them by the angry people trying to put a stop to the killing in the streets.
ok, thats a fantasy of mine, I don't really wish for people to shoot wildly in the streets.
