No logical person, in government or outside of it, has suggested outlawing gun ownership. It will never happen in this country. The only people talking about taking away all guns are the rabid gun owners themselves.  We need gun licensing so we know who owns the guns legally. That way when a gun is stolen it will actually go on a list. We need to outlaw open and concealed gun carry unless the gun and the owner is licensed. We need to initiate stop and frisk. If the person if licensed and the gun is registered, the person walks away. If the gun is not registered to the person, or the person is unlicensed, the gun is confiscated. The person can retrieve the gun once it is proven to belong to the person, properly registered and the person is licensed.  That way the honest guy can carry and the dishonest will lose the gun. This is the only answer I see. If you have a better one, please describe it as I have here. If you just want to call names, expect to be flagged and reported to ADN.
