It's pure political theater. It doesn't DO anything.

I stopped reading there because you left the topic on discussion.

This has nothing to do with Gangs, Criminals or any Militia. It's about making sure children in schools, people at work, people driving their cars, are safer from nut cases who commit suicide by cop after killing as many other people as possible, or a road rage idiot who pulled a gun, or people too stupid to realise guns should be kept away from toddlers, or even their pet dog. In the case of an accident.

Lew abiding, sensible, careful and moderate people, like yourself, would soon pass any test to show that you are capable of keeping a gun or guns safe. you would never fly off in a rage because someone cut you up on the road.

Another measure to improve children's safety while at school would be to employ ex-military who have passed tests. To guard schools, all the costs to be raised by imposing a sales tax on firearms. I'm sure a reasonable person like yourself would welcome extra security for children, against nutcases and idiots who shouldn't have a gun, but do because it's their right.
