Lots of bad people have guns. Not sure we can eliminate bad people from getting guns. No more than we have success in taking automobile access away from drunks. I am just guessing here, but I bet the nut case who killed all those people yesterday was never "officially" tagged as incompetent hence didn't qualify for being prohibited from buying guns. Assuming that he did legally purchase the guns he used.

I would also be guessing, but I imagine that all those guns in the hands of the repeat offending gang members we are blessed with are not legally registered to most of them. And I am guessing that many of them have long records going in and out of our revolving door system.

Also I would hate to be a Seattle cop. This city is run by some really poor excuses for leaders. Yesterday's press conference by the mayor and that grand standing other politician spoke volumes about their lack of leadership and pie in the sky bs ideas as to what to do. I would guess the Seattle cops are walking on egg shells these days. Whatever is going on in City Hall it isn't working out well. Maybe they should all go to New York PD and learn how to reduce crime. Cops did a great job yesterday but our so called leaders did not.
