We CAN and MUST do better to protect our people

1. First, ban all assault weapons for they are weapons of war and no one should be allowed to purchase or own a weapon of war.
2. Second, all handguns and rifles must have tracker chips--this may not need to be any more complicated than the microchips on dogs and cats--it gives an identity and a responsibility to the owner.
3. Third, mandatory background checks on all firearm purchases. Anyone who has a history of mental instability should be unable to buy any firearm ever. Anyone who is on a terrorist watch list or no-fly list should be unable to buy any Firearm ever.
   
   
4. Make gun control a significant factor in Homeland Security. Let the HSA and the NRA duke it out.
   
5. Make gun control about security and safety--which it is--rather than some antiquated amendment that has been taken way out of context and way out of keeping with the current technology level (hand-loaded musket balls in the 1700s could be reloaded and fired four rounds per minute, while assault rifles can fire 800 rounds per minute).
