There is nothing to tackle? Firearm should no more be illegal than breadknives, hammers, ropes, screwdrivers, fingers, teeth, pencils or rocks.

Teaching personal responsibility for one's actions may be helpful but it is my strong opinion that every woman should own and know how to use a firearm --- they do "equalize" the strength disadvantage that male hold.

The next time someone seeks to rape you, steal your property, or harm a member of your family --- ask yourself this: Would I like to have a firearm now in my hand or should I call 911 and wait the 5 plus minutes before I can expect someone to come to my aid?

As a Canadian, the gun control is a mess.
Most illegal guns are not registered.
Any guns that are stolen, are not reported, as there is a fine for the victim and you will probably loose the rest of your guns.
It is called improper storage, and is automatically charged if you loose your gun.
The whole program has cost the government billions and there is little gain. The use of firearms in crimes has risen at the same rate as the US which has no gun law.
The police are busy checking farmers and other people that must use a gun in their jobs.
Livestock must be euthanized and predators must be controlled.There are not enough conservation people and vets to do this, and they are often hours away. Besides, who would pay for this?
Spend the same money and effort on policing and make sure the punishment is stiff enough. The police often get frustrated when they spend much effort to catch someone, only to have them walk later.

I know this sounds old, but when you make all guns illegal, guesse who will have guns...CRIMINALS. Gun laws only apply to people who follow laws, which criminals do not, by there definition. until we enforce the laws on the books, gun crime will be a problem. The vast majority of gun crime is done by criminals, with illegal firearms or guns they are not legally entitled to have. Law abiding gun owners account for a tiny, tiny percentage of gun crime.
So, to answer your question, making all guns illegal would serve no purpose. Take DC. Gun ownership is all but illegal for everyone, yet they have the highest homicide rate in the nation. Why is that? Becuase criminals will still carry guns to commit crime.

Until we pass laws that say 10 years, no plea,no parole, for carrying an illegal gun and 20 years, no plea, no parole if its used in a crime...in addition to the crime committed, gun violence will be a problem.

For the above poster...all guns are registered. To buy a firearm, you must present ID and fill out the ATF form and undergo a backround check. Almost every area requires permits for handguns and most require registration of long guns.

Gun control is a misnomer for "fear control." It was put in place by those in the population that are afraid of guns, moreover afraid of death as they equate the two as being the same. There are plently of controls in place to placate those who are afraid of guns until the day they need one themselves. Illegal guns are those owned by criminals who acquired them and use them illegally. There are 280 million legal guns in the US owned by decent people who bend over backwards to comply with the complex firearms laws that the criminals laugh at. These legally owned firearms are not the source of violent crime. Besides it is our Constitiutional right to keep and bear arms.

"We" dont tackle something the 2nd ammendment plainly outlines "the peoples right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." There are already too many ineffective gun control laws and "gun free zones" that have taken away the rights of law abiding citizens to defend themselves from criminal psycho paths who dont abide by silly laws. "We" need to learn from past mistakes such as masacre scenes that were also "gun free zones" such as Va tech campus and every high school middle school and mall where mass shootings occurred.

Pass a law changing the name of all "Gun Free Zones" to
"Defensless Target Zones" and people will understand what the gun control movement is really doing to us.

Gun control, itself, is illegal and was originated and implemented by Adolph Hitler, to render the honest citizens helpless.

Nah, make guns completely legal. In fact, make them mandatory. Everyone has to own and carry at least one. Wait a few weeks, and the problem sorts itself out.

IF ALL GUNS WERE ILLEGAL THEN ONLY THE CRIMINALS WOULD HAVE GUNS.(CAPONE AND THE 30'S)

TO REGISTER ALL GUNS IS NOT AN INVASION OF PRIVACY AND THEN TO SELL ONE IT WOULD HAVE TO BE RE- REGISTERED JUST LIKE CARS AND TITLES.

EACH WEAPON BOUGHT LEGALLY SHOULD HAVE A TITLE WITH IT.

ALL GUN SALES SHOULD BE DOCUMENTED THROUGH A SHERIFF, POLICE DEPARTMENT WITHIN YOUR LOCALITY.

GUNS FOUND NOT REGISTERED WILL BE CONFISCATED.
IF A GUN IS USED IN A COMMISSION OF A CRIME WITHOUT PROPER VALIDATION, THEN THE SENTENCING WHEN FOUND GUILTY WOULD BE ENHANCED BY 10 YEARS.
