I believe some want to ban these guns but allow current owners to be grandfathered in. This could allow these guns to be on the streets for years to come. I agree with stronger regulation into the future owners of guns. Maybe a longer waiting period along with stronger background checks. Classes or prior military would help as well.<br>

<div>This makes no sense. Just to use an example, if you banned assault rifles, no one could steal them. I'm not saying that's what we should do. But we should look at ALL possible solutions. Again, research Australia and gun control. Best, Joe<br>

<div>Some form of gun control has got to be part of the solution. And I believe all the guns used in recent shootings were legally purchased. That's why some form of gun control has got to be part of the solution. Australia did it, so can we<br>
