This is a terrifying prediction. On Mother s Day this year I went to Washington DC and participated in the Million Mom March. You would not allow an unlicensed driver to drive a vehicle registered in your name, yet in many instances including Columbine, people bought guns for the perpetrators. Because the guns are unregistered, the purchasers have no penalties for giving these weapons to irresponsible people who used them to kill. Having a national registry would prevent someone who has been turned down in one state to go to another state and purchase a weapon.
Handguns have one purpose to kill a human being.
Automatic weapons have a single purpose to kill many human beings quickly. I do not know what sport they are talking about, but if anyone out there wants to enlighten me, please do so. 12 children are dying today because of guns. 12 children died yesterday because of guns and 12 children will die tomorrow because of guns. Many people purchase handguns for protection.
