I'm talking long term, not short term. We have had guns as part of the culture for centuries,.. and that will never change.

Dream up all the unenforceable machiavellian schemes you want that take away the use of guns from law-abiders,... they won't work - they never do. Your wacky concepts would only have an effect on folks that never do anything wrong with a gun. This is just standard lib screed spewed by those that have no understanding of the law of unintended consquences.

RF-ID based trigger locks are already working. Say all you want that they dont work etc etc etc ...
Remember the last 2 massacres were committed by people who did not own the guns they killed with.
After that you still want guns to freely be shoot-able by anyone who gets to it first ?
Cool.

With 1 in 10 Americans clinically depressed,... I'd be more surprised if a suicidal, mass murderer, wasn't on some kind of medication...
It's not the cause,.. it's a symptom...

I agree but this is really the issue. I the most prosperous country to ever exist why do we have so many depressed and drugged people?

Trigger locks work, huh?

As for the RFID systems, God help you if you have to defend yourself in the middle of the night and the RFID tag is on the night stand. And I would hate to watch my wife get shot with the gun in her hand because it was for my RFID tag. This is why no police organization in the country and no military organization in the world is equipped with these. They know that they will kill people, and do not have to listen to uninformed voters that have no clue what they are talking about.
