gun control

["John and Laurie Danahy" <JDANAHY@turbonet.com>]

I've been resisting the impulse to join the fray here, enjoying rather
sitting back and following the comments.  I'm puzzled by the apparent lack
of realization of what is truly happening back in DC.  Congress, bless their
little greedy hearts, is trying to show voters that they care about gun
control while at the same time trying to show gun owners (NRA or not) that
they care about gun owners rights.  The result is the foolishness that is
currently ongoing.
The real solution here is not gun control, but using gun sales to finance
education.  A 50% sales tax on all gun sales, private or other wise, used to
provide for adequate counseling in our schools, would go a long way toward
prevention of any more Littletons, which is the real driving force behind
all this.  We cannot regulate guns any more than we have been able to
regulate drugs.  We should except the fact that ownership is here, put very
stiff automatic sentencing on any crime in which a gun is visible, and tax
the hell out of every sale.
