I'm not willing to give up my 2nd amendment rights either but that doesn't mean I don't have the common sense that goes along with realizing that some aspects may have to change if people can't accept accountability.  

The people stealing & shooting are accountable
The folks who don't secure their weapons properly are accountable 
The failed system that leaves them in the stret even after being caught is accountable

No one wants to shoulder the blame because everyone wants to say "I'm
Right and you're wrong" 

Though realistically I'd be interested to know the number of guns that have been used in shootings this year alone that were originally the property of a registered owner.

There is no guaranteed solution but a conversation about the subject that does more than point fingers would be a step in the right direction.
