Cant wait to hear your "common sense gun reform" despite the fact you've never handled or shot one. Do you have any original ideas or do you just toe the company line?

I wouldn't equate gun ownership to murder first of all. Malum prohibitum versus malum in se. I dont think it's hard to understand that if you have limited knowledge in a subject, PERHAPS you shouldn't be making laws against it?
the point is that shooting a gun doesn't really provide any regulatory or scientific insight.
It does give you first hand knowledge of how guns work (one shot per trigger is not automatic) it gives you an idea of how hard you have to work to be accurate with them (they are not instant kill death machines) handling a gun shows you extended magazines arent endless, and theres tons of issues with drum mag reliability, it shows you how quickly one can reload, pretty much negating a ban on extended magazines, shooting guns tells you a lot more about them and takes the mystery and mystique out of guns that most people have if you've never shot one or been exposed to guns.
Politicians would get so much more credit if they had a single clue about the topic they wish to legislate. Can you imagine where we would be if lawmakers smoked weed or took mushrooms before they came up with a law to ban them?

How do you feel about the Chris Dorner case?
