We need to have an honest, bipartisan search for a way to keep madmen from getting guns. Here's a hint ... it's not the guns. Our system is set up so that the easiest solution to any problem is to impact the largest number of people so that the handful causing the problem are caught up in the net. That's a bad solution.

Guns are like cars, hammers, baseball bats and knives. All have legitimate functions and all can be used to kill. Disarming America so horrors like Newtown don't happen would be like outlawing driving to keep drunk drivers from killing other motorists. Find a solution to keeping bad guys from obtaining guns (in my opinion, virtually impossible), don't come after every law-abiding citizen in hopes you'll cancel some madman's plans.
