#1 Consensus - meaning the other side abandons its values and agrees with you. No thanks. Ever.

In my country, I control the guns. It is as you can see, very peaceful.

#3 ....I'm sorry, but when I hear the words 'grand bargain', I want to reach for my gun.

#5 A grand bargain on guns is possible

A final solution, so to speak?

#7 Like flushing all the toilets on campus at the same time, one wonders what would happen to society if every lib who wets his / her / its drawers upon seeing a gun were to all be shown one at exactly the same time...

#8 Baby steps, girls and boys. Remember how we did it with the media and the schools.

#9 For starters, it would clearly set out the rights and responsibilities of gun retailers. Advocates for stronger gun laws argue that there are a handful of bad-apple gun stores that, through incompetence, negligence and nefarious intent, lose track of tens or hundreds of guns in inventory. True.

I didn't see the part where the BATF/Federal Government/DOJ Policy was arming Mexican gangsters. Maybe Marcus wasn't so far off, except it wasn't the NRA giving weapons to the black community...

Another element would involve redefining who is prohibited from owning a gun. Under federal law, all convicted felons, domestic abusers, adjudicated mentally ill people and certain other narrow categories of people are barred, typically for life, from purchasing, borrowing or possessing guns.

What I understand is the CT nutcase was, in fact, a nutcase who killed his own mother then stole a weapon then killed those kids. I think that is already against the law.

An agency which cold calls for donations for retired LEOs, most likely a 3rd hand party, used to use the line "Well its not Mayberry anymore" well, it never was Mayberry. In fact the only places I have been to which anything resembles the fictional Hollywood storyline do not exist without heavy patrol, walls and gates, and alarms. My small town of Mayberry had my neighbor get their door handle broken off on Christmas Eve, the lock to my business jimmey'd, and x shipments of meth trafficed from Mexico pass within a horse's ride.
