Gun violence is at the root of Michael Brown’s death
....Yet this oppositional framing makes it easy to overlook the common enemy facing both sides: gun violence. The most constructive thing each side could do to address their concerns is work together to reduce the availability of guns to people everyone agrees shouldn’t have them......
OK common sense gun control, no guns for those who 'shouldn't have them'
......Guns and their prevalence in America are most certainly the distinguishing factor in both the high numbers of police officers killed by civilians and innocent civilians killed by police.
This suggests common ground. Those worried about both police safety and communities plagued by police shootings should work together in pushing for measures that can reduce the availability of guns to people who are at high risk for harming themselves or others. Federal law already prohibits many high-risk groups — such as teenagers and people previously convicted of a felony offense — from possessing firearms, but these laws suffer from significant loopholes and inadequate enforcement. ......
Oh, loopholes again, need more common sense
.....Additional measures could reduce gun access to high-risk groups without much affecting access to guns by those legally allowed to have them. One example is laws that limit handgun purchases to one per month, which research suggests can reduce the flow of illegal guns into the underground gun market. Another example is requiring background checks for the 30 to 40 percent of all gun transactions that occur between private parties (not involving a gun dealer), which are nearly completely unregulated under present federal law.....
There it is, one gun a month and the gun show loop hole
.....The problem is not that a majority doesn’t support such measures, but rather that it is a “silent majority.” A small but vocal group of opponents of such measures exercise disproportionate impact in the legislative process......
Silent majority, really? There is the attack on the NRA
More mush from the wimp, I read these so you don't have to
