  1. These people are nuts. First, the comment AR15s are associated with mass shootings, the truth is handguns are the most used. As usual, "feel good" trumps logic and facts. I suggest two things, 1. Go after prosecutors who don't enforce existing laws, especially against juvenile gang members responsible for the greatest number of shooting deaths and injuries. 2. Make the penalties for gang activities higher, thereby making the crime more costly than the commission. Remember last year when Kim Foxx in Chicago declined to prosecute any one in two gangs who conducted a shootout in a public area in broad daylight. None of these people were old enough to legally own a pistol (one crime), attempted murder (a second crime), endangering bystanders, committing assault with a deadly weapon, and we could probably find more charges. Her reason was this was mutual agreed on combat. Where in the law is such a concept? Do you expect less crime or violence when you fail to follow the laws against it? Stop trying to feel good, do something real; guns aren't the problem as much as contempt for laws and society. It wasn't guns that made the wild west, it was the lack of effective law enforcement.
