And therein lies the rub, that whackjob that shot Gabby was not listed in the database that ALL states are supposed to keep on unstable people.
Hell even in the hands of the police innocent people are not safe. there have been any number of No Knock warerants where they got the address wrong and the homeowner was killed because they tried to defend themselves.
Gun control laws should be sensible and enforceable - and enforced. NRA aside I should not be able to go to a gun show and buy any weapon without a background check, or buy one online and have it delivered by anyone other than an FFL licensed dealer.
Just my $0.02.
PS: Not only in gunfights, I learned very young that the Marquis of Queensbury was an idiot. If somebody wants to beat on you disable him as quickly and efficiently as possible with whatever is at hand.
