"One would expand current ballistic fingerprinting, which now covers handguns, to include rifles and shotguns."

Fingerprinting would surely stop crimes NOT. It wouldn't help to solve crimes. As an ex firearms dealer I know people have to go through a background check to purchase a new frame for their weapon, but not a new barrel. Ballistics come from the rifling in the barrel, not the serial number on the frame. Shotguns? what ballistics.

"ban all types of assault weapons"

Now you know we just HAVE TO get rid of assault weapons. You have heard about all those gang related Drive By Bayoneting's haven't you?

"copycat weapons just as deadly as those banned"

A bolt action .22 caliber is just as deadly as the assault weapons they are trying to ban which happens to be .223 caliber (just a hair larger).

"report a lost or stolen gun"

This is the only intelligent thing they say. You should report it stolen. If you don't and it's used in a crime, you know the first person they will be questioning don't you?

"Montgomery County Police Chief Charles Moose"

You people in Montgomery County better really watch this guy, he was the chief here in Portland, Oregon. Not one soul around here is sorry he was forced out.

"I demand that the gun lobby look me in the eye when they say guns don't kill people, kill people. Because, after all, the man or men who killed my son, Conrad, from hundreds of yards away could not have used a knife or their bare hands. The only weapon they could have used to fulfill their bloody mission was a gun,"

If people don't kill people, guns kill people, then might I suggest they let the snipers out and put the weapon in prison.

If there would have been 200 people caring guns on the day of the first shooting, I'll just bet her son wouldn't have been shot. The snipers would have gone down, no trial no cost to tax payers.

I might also mention that not one of my weapons has ever killed anyone.

"Gov. Bob Ehrlich said the state already had some of the toughest gun laws in the nation."

DC and New York have the toughest gun laws in the nation. Look at how safe their cities are.

That's why I live where I do. We don't have the violent crimes in my town like other cities, because the criminals know that their occupation is VERY hazardous around here.
