To my mind this is enough.

Some people seem to think there is no reasonable limit. That they should be allowed to own tactical nukes if they want them. I think they have mental issues. Seriously.

Here in VA, our governor recently struck down a decades old "one gun purchase per month" rule. WTF would ANYONE need to purchase more than one gun per month for? We've had this rule for a long time and it hasn't "infringed" on anybodies ability to defend themselves or to shoot varmints, believe me.

Our tight gun laws here in California have not seemed to reduced gun crimes. Deaths caused by accidents do happen, but that is the fault of the gun owner and not the availability of guns IMHO. It is interesting that a lot of areas with tight gun control also have a high gun crime rate. Dramatic gun incidents get a tremendous amount of news coverage relative to the threat or use of firearms curtailing crime.
