About One-Quarter of Assault-Injured Youth Own a Gun

2. "Most of which

are obtained illegally." According the NRA and DU Gungeoneers, there is absolutely nothing that we can do about people obtaining weapons illegally, so we may as well just arm everyone and let the best shot win.

That NRA bought-and-paid-for assumption is what drives corrupt politicians to accept bribes (NRA "A" rating and campaign donations) from the gun lobby in exchange for dangerous gun laws and regulations which enable the obscene proliferation of guns in our society. The NRA and those who apologize for, or agree with, their stance on "gunz for everyone" are the direct cause of the ease with which these idiots are able to obtain a gun from other idiots.

The American people are awakening to the reality that guns are indeed a blight on our society, and that they should be strictly controlled. Universal background checks should be required for ALL gun purchases whether from a licensed dealer, or your Aunt Emma. Once sold, ALL guns should be registered. and all subsequent changes of ownership or possession should be tracked through mandatory registration. And, for the "can't live without my gun" crowd, please spare me the whining about possible "confiscation."

The commission of a crime of any classification(felony or misdemeanor) in which the perpetrator is in possession of a gun should have an automatic penalty of a minimum of 25 years tacked on.
