Dec 2013

Are goals to reduce violence/crime?
Are goals to reduce mass shootings?
To reduce "gun-violence" only?
To effect some sort of peaceful new order?
To change the nature of people?

What then must follow are policy/legislative decisions which are both Legal, and directly linked to the defined goals in believable manner.

The gun-control outlook has manifestly failed in these efforts. Merry Christmas to all.
