your suggestions are not 'great' as some mis-informed, naive types will want to believe.
It is short sighted and un-informed to suggest all these stupid patronising actions you suggest that we should adopt.
Mate, if it becomes patently clear to everyone that someone is bad, for whatever reason, and someone decides that this person is a serious enough threat, then it doesn't matter if he gets his hands on a gun or a bow and arrows or or a spear gun or even a nail gun, for that matter, the point is HE will go and kill that person HE believes it the right course of action.
I don't understand why people keep coming up with new reasons to limit our freedoms.
I used to have a helmet exemption some time ago.
I get pulled over one day, by a cop, which was the norm and I accepted that, the price of being different.
Anyway he pulled me up, I produce the same document as always, only to be told that that act was no longer and it was a different act so he then proceeded to write me up, for not wearing a safety helmet.
They could not produce any evidence of having changed the law and advising those of us affected by the change.
Their are so many things that have been made law because of 'common sense'.
You see, I don't want to wear seat belts, don't like them.
The fact that I have never had an incident wrongly called an 'accident', makes me one of the top shelf drivers.
But the law has a one size fits all policy, because it makes things easier for them to control and for administration, but not for me, the people.
So gun control is no different, when you consider a roofing contractor is more likely to kill a customer for non-payment of the account and he has a nail GUN at his disposal, every day.
No all this BS about gun control is to appease the queers, the naive, the jelly brains, the immature and the neuters.

The majority of gun killings in the US is negro on negro drug gang killings. The average US citizen is no more likely to kill than any other.

Get control of the nutters, with incarceration of the mentally insane, or seriously troubled, & you will stop mass killings, even those with bombs & vehicles.

Automatic guns are great if you want to take out a group of a disliked religion or demographic. They gather in their place of worship for you too. A bomb is probably better in that situation as in a Bali club with patrons of another religion.

However a rented van, or light truck is just as good, as we have seen, if the objective is to kill lots, with no special demographic in mind, other than white. A plane has proved pretty successful too.

Gun control, like nuclear disarmament is a mugs game. It will only control those who want to be controlled, & have no useful effect on those who don't. I know it has made criminals of some who would not ever commit a real crime. More than a few high quality guns have been buried, well protected, when some special attachment was involved.

Gee, talk about hatred towards me,

I only wanted to start the discussion on how to reduce the number of deaths by guns, I came up with a few suggestions
yet I seem to have hit a nerve about "social engineering" and our rights.

By all means have a gun and all farmers should have one, educate people on how to use a gun and question do you really need one, taxing bullets still allows you to kill people, it just becomes more expensive.

Just like smoking, by all means carry on smoking, but you pay a huge price via taxes. A lot of young people don't smoke because of the cost, and that frees up a lot of medical expenses in the long term.

My suggestions were just that, suggestions to discuss.

I see a lot of people criticize my suggestions , yet very few answers to mass killings.

Surely doing something is better than doing nothing?

over 90% of Americans charged with murder do not attend a church. Given that about 50% of the population goes to church their is an obvious glaring link between god deniers and murderers. Thy shall not murder!

'a boy growing up without a father is 20 times likely to end up in prison' Barak Obama in 2008. Feminist and emasulated males have a lot to answer for.
