... due to firearm misuse continue.
Obviously, the controls that have been designed have not been sufficiently
effective. Therefore the pro-gun controllers argue, we need more uniform
legislation, more extensive gun controls, and effective enforcement.

as those who take a less radical stand and who would simply increase the
controls on firearms. The moderate gun control groups propose measures such as
requiring an individual to successfully complete a ...

... want to kill a
man who is already imprisoned. They say he's already being punished.
However the states don't keep all murders in jail forever. Some
of these criminals will get out and will probably start all over again. Its
not that they have to kill, but they have a problem. Problem or no problem

while another family suffers for it. If the don't care about killing
