Thoughts on Gun Related Violence

1.  Move background checks to police stations instead of at the point of sale.  If you want to purchase a firearm, or ammunition, you go down to the police station where they'll run the NICS on you. They'll also check to see if you have any outstanding warrants or are currently serving some type of criminal sentence.  Assuming they don't arrest you on the spot, and you're not on probation or parole, you'll get something showing you passed.  That something allows you to purchase firearms and\or ammo for the next 6 months.

2.  Start providing age-appropriate firearm safety education in our schools.  If we're going to teach children how to create life it seems reasonable to teach them about things that can take a life.

3.  Require manufacturers to fire every gun prior to it leaving the production facility.  Send the bullet(s) and casing(s) to the FBI along with the associated serial number of the gun.

4.  I think we'll eventually be forced into some type of gun registration data base.
