I don't - and wouldn't, for reason s that are probably beside the point - own guns, but I think we need to re-activate the "well-regulated" aspect of the 2nd amendment.

And part of that policy should involve amortizing the costs of gun violence in this country - law enforcement, medical, funerals for 6 year olds, all of it. It's like cars: the cost of the insurance and the risk of dying get factored in. I'd like to see the real costs of gun ownership factored into the $$ cost of the gun, and into an ammo tax...
