I have a simple solution to the gun violence and killing epidemic in America: repeal the 2nd Amendment or rewrite it so guns are banned in America to all but law enforcement and the military. That will take care of the web of ineffective and confounding gun control laws. America's mentality is still in the Wild West. We are now witnessing history with the election of Barack Obama as first African American President of the United States. Will we witness a more peaceful America? I can only pray for such enlightenment.   

Ok, very interesting points and I can see your point, for example.

#1) Currently for the most part there is a background check but it is very weak and not standard scross the states, for example here in Florida a lot of individuals who qualify for guns would not quality for funs in most other states.

Also, Doctors for example have to disclose information to the Department of Transportation for medical conditions or medication that should keep this individual from Driving, why is this not the case for Gun Owners, if you are taking certain medication then perhaps that individuals gun ownership is dangerose to others.

#2) Easy, they are required to store the guns safely. Leaving the responsability to the owner, if a gun is stolen from you or someone gets injured or killed because of the lack of fun safe storage then that individual is responsable of what happens. Why exemt this individuals from guilt as it is happening now.

#3) I guess I need clarification on this, not sure what that would mean.

#4) This is just common sense

#5) This would be great, at the moment there is no encouragement for the gun manufacturers to make guns safer instead of otherwise.

#6) That would be great, Im sure a lot of people fear this but this doesnt mean that guns will be taken off the street but there will be some sort of organization to keep guns under control

#7) That would be cool

Shelly,

 As just Scalia pointed out in District V. Heller, the 2nd amendment does not define a right. It just explicitly says that a pre-existing right "shall not be infringed."

At this point, I would feel the need to remind both Republicans and Democrats alike (and the supreme court), about the 9th amendment.

Oh yeah, don't forget the 10th.... and 14th!

Besides, gun restrictions only make law abiding people easy targets. I will again remind everyone to compare the crime rates in cold war era Switzerland and Jamaica.

Gun restrictions do not reduce crime. We would no more be able to keep illegal guns off the street than we can keep illegal drugs off the street.

Furthermore, would you support a ban on cars because a small number of criminals use them in serious crimes?

#1 Mandatory criminal background checks for all gun salesAlready there. I will give you credit for not suggesting that there is some law that somehow does not apply when you are inside a gun show. There isn't.
#2 Require responsible and safe gun storage for all firearms unless they are in the owners direct controlCorrect me if I am wrong, but didn't District V. Heller explicitly strike this down?
#3 Allow Law Enforcement to maintain and share critical "crime-gun" trace dataThey already do that. I suppose that this is a veilled reference to the Tiahrt Amendment. Law enforcement can access everything their heart's desire. The only thing this does is prevent antigun groups to troll through the data. Any suggestion otherwise is just false.

#4 Restore and improve the Federal Ban on Assault WeaponsWow... let's see. The assault weapons ban, like all gun control, did not reduce crime. Furthermore, the weapons covered by the original ban are used in less than 1% of gun crime.

#5 Repeal the Federal law giving Immunity to the gun industrySee the comments about the Tiahrt Amendment.

If a drunk driver kills someone, the car company is not at fault.
#6 Enact National Consumer Product Safety Commission regulations for firearmsWhy? I do not recall reading a single news story about defective guns being a problem.

Perhaps the real reason is to drive up the cost of gun ownership? Maybe harass gun makers? So, only rich people can defend themselves, hunt, and participate in gun sports.

Wow, that reminds me of the jim crow era obsticles put in place to prevent minorities from voting.
 
#7 Create incentives for the gun industry to make "personalized guns"No problem with incentives, as long as it isn't my tax money being used.

Guns kill people like spoons make people fat!. Its the idiot behind the trigger that kills people. You guys are retarded if you think banning guns will keep people from killing each other. Remember, anything is a weapon if you hold it just right.

There is only one simple way to deal with gun violence:  #1.   Ban guns from the general public in America. This is the only thing that will work. Nothing else works.

Right Shelley, like that will ever happen. Lets just ban violent stupid people instead, that would solve all of our problems.

Well the first thing Obama could do is look at the facts and not these 2nd amendment raping ideas.

First of all criminals get guns the way criminals do anything else, illegally. Unregistered, illegal guns are the ones generally used in violent crime. Creating more restrictions only places the weight on the law-abiding responsible citizen.

MANDATORY CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS ARE ALREADY IN USE, by law any gun sold in these United States without one is an illegal sale.

Safe gun storage is useful, and a good idea, keeping a gun out of it's gun safe or safe hiding place is like having a knife out of the drawer.

Law enforcement already gathers data on guns it has and uses, this is a moot point.

The assault weapons ban does the exact same thing as tightening the restrictions, as previously stated the weapons in question (also most likely obtained illegally) were used in less than 1% of gun violence. This is simply another act to take a way the citizen's Constitutional right, one clearly spelled out.

Immunity to the gun industry is common sense, it should go without saying that these are sold as WEAPONS. These weapons when sold assume responsible use and anything beyond that is fault of the buyer/wielding party of the weapon. This protects from frivalous litigation.

Gun safety is an important issue, and possibly the most important in this because it is the only common sense one. A person who does not know and practice responsible gun safety, use and handling should not own a gun.

Personalized guns are a nice idea, but I will not waste my tax dollars on added digital folly to an already high functioning and high performing machine.
