If the penalties were Draconian, I think you'd see less gun crime. Use a gun in the commission of a crime, ANY crime, and face life imprisonment. Use a gun to kill someone, and face the death penalty. Mandatory, no sentencing guidelines.........which is something I'm normally against.

And make room in the prisons using whatever means necessary.........my favored way would be to release non-violent drug offenders first.

The numbers of people killed in hunting accidents is miniscule. I'm sure the families of those accidently shot may think it's a very important issue, but I bet more people are killed by their bathtub than by accidental hunting-related shootings.

And before you say you want to see 90% of the population packing, go drive around town for 20 minutes and look at the idiotic crap people are doing with their cars. I'm not sure I want those same goats packing. You'd just be trading crime-related shootings for accidental shootings by idiots who shouldn't have a crayon in their hands, let alone a firearm.

I think forced gun ownership is as shortshighted as forced gun bans.
