This showed up in my FB Feed:
Prior to 1968, anyone could walk into a hardware store with cash and walk out with a gun, no questions asked. Yet massacres were exceedingly rare. So, instead of the “the easy availability of guns” being shrieked about, we need to ask ourselves: What has changed since then?
The question I always ask of my liberal friends is this, are we more liberal or more conservative than we were in 1968, in both society and fiscally? No one can argue that government isn’t bigger, or there aren’t more social programs or more regulations. Therefore the majority of the issues and problems that beset our country are because of liberalism. also "gun control" isn't about guns, it's about control, and " comon sense gun laws" are laws about keeping guns out of the hands of the common man.

I've got one. Stealing guns should be illegal. I believe the theft of guns should carry a higher penalty than theft of other items of similar value. This seems "common sense".

They can add another 10,000 laws and it won't change a thing... until they are enforced.

Common sense would mean there is no difference between a 14.5" rifle and a 16" rifle. That rate of fire is inconsequential. How loud the report means nothing.
Either you're allowed to own guns (any guns), or you're not. I also believe that if you've been disqualified from owning firearms, you should be disqualified from voting. Those two should never be untied.

Unfortunately that just confirms the anti gun folks idea that guns are not just tools. By making a gun crime more punishable than say a knife crime it gives them more ammo to push more legislation. Murder is murder, theft is theft, rape is rape. There should be no exceptions.

Throw back time. Fines for not having effective, servicable well maintained arms or gear when mustered for quarterly militia training. That's common sense gun control.

Death penalty for stealing and/or committing a crime with an NFA gun.
