Maybe if local governments put public notices on TV, radio and social media every time someone like this idiot shouts her mouth. These public notices would cover safety and storage, some horror stories from around the counties and states. I would also like them to recall people's memories to incidents like Columbine, VT, Aurora and Sandy Hook. A full court press on the public about the right, responsibility and dangers of firearms.This is even dumber than crying, "Cars kill people, we should ban cars!"
Anti smoking campaigns were lost on the boomers and the health hazards were not really accepted until the physical ailments of smoking were there on tv and in the media, generation x got the message. Look at the large majority of young people now who have not taken up the habit. Gun control should be sold to the public as a health hazard (it certainly has the kill rate to justify it) but acceptable to own.
I heard last night, though I have not checked the statistic but 3% of gun owners own 50% of the guns. This is the scary thing for me. I accept people owning a gun for home protection but anymore than three guns should require a special license reserved for collectors, hunters and dealers. This license would require stringent checks by local authorities and random checks, like a health inspector.
