How do you feel about the idea of a Gun Offender list? Similar to the Sex Offender Registry but for people who commit crimes with a firearm?
I was reading this article and that was mentioned. I realized I had not thought of that. I'll have to think about it for a little while before I can make up my own mind how I feel. I know that I'm all for the Sex Offender Registry (it isn't perfect, though). My sister and her husband are not welcome in my home because of her husband's status and a couple other factors. I think, if I could find out that someone had committed a crime with a gun, I may feel the same way about having them near me and my firearm(s).
All that said, there are a number of things I didn't like in that article. The thing that pissed me off the most is this statement - My fear is that its already slowing ... and nothing is going to come of it, just like nothing came of Columbine or Virginia Tech. - which proves they don't care about to kiddos and that they're just using these tragedies to further political agendas. This is infuriating to me.
