Gabby Giffords Gun Violence Initiative

Well sure, but I would have to hear the reasoning before I could say whether any particular disagreement was reasonable or not.

And you have (even if you would prefer to try to make it seem like you haven't). Thanks.

Since I'm posting about what won't work, let me suggest something that might at least start things down the right direction. I don't support registration in any way shape or form. I wouldn't, however, be opposed to a system that allows me (via some anonomous mechanism) to do a background check on a private party sale and prove that has happened to prevent guns getting in the hands of the wrong people. That would close the "gun show loophole" without many of the negatives I see to requiring registration.

Why should anyone who isn't in favor of gun believe that that will address the guns already out there, circulating in the black market, better than the solutions proposed by gun control advocates, like the Brady Campaign?

But if the "solutions" don't fix the problem or make the problem worse, then yes, I would say doing nothing is better than making things worse.

But if the solutions would make things even a little better, as they likely would (according to many reasonable people who disagree with you), then doing nothing is the wrong thing to do.
