[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 3315136, member: 745"] There is no sure way to keep guns out of the hands of bad actors. It simply can't be done here on Earth. The best I can see is to keep the bad actors away from guns - or knives, bats, arrows, bricks, vehicles, or any other device capable of being used to cause harm. The bad actors can be kept from using themselves to cause harm. We have mental institutions, prisons, and execution chambers to secure these people from causing harm. Once adjudicated, if not executed, lock them up. Anyone who slips through the cracks should be met with armed resistance. That said, obviously, some bad actors will succeed; but there will be fewer of them out in society. So, until someone comes up with the magic pill, enact the foregoing. It isn't perfect but it is better than how things are now. Naysayers will say it'll cost too much to keep these people off the streets. But what about the cost to victims? Does anyone bother to take that into account? It'll probably be cheaper in the long run. Attrition will bring the numbers down. And, those locked up can be put to work to defray the costs. They'll just have to do it in prison or an institution. Woody [/QUOTE]
