Re: New York Shooting
I believe that is already the case. Thats what background checks are for, to weed out ex-cons. But not sure that would solve the problem though. Many murders are committed by people who dont own the firearms..eg. the Newtown murders, where the kid used his mother’s weapons. And secondly, most criminals buy their weapons on the street. And finally, whats to say that a law abiding person with registered weapons wont go bonkers one day?
This is just reflective of the overall unrest that exists across the world lately. It is unfortunate, but it will take something big to change this mentality
