"Nevertheless, her story and others like it may not speak directly to whether we should have something like more comprehensive background checks. Gun rights supporters are fond of saying that expanded background checks wouldn't have stopped the Sandy Hook shooting, and strictly speaking that's true, since Adam Lanza got his guns from his mother, and since she wasn't an ex-felon"

" more comprehensive background checks" are not enough if only gun purchasers are checked. The check should be of anyone with a reasonable access to a gun. In our society, that means everyone.

The advantage of this procedure is that people who exercise their right to bare arms are not singled out. It would also catch those who break the law and obtain, or have access to illegal guns. After the background check, those having been found to be wanting can not only be prevented from purchasing a gun but can be prevented from access to areas where guns might reasonably be found. This would involve a GPS tracking device with arrest of those who enter restricted areas.

Does this sound like a police state? Not to worry, our government would never threaten your liberty. We are from the government and we are here to stop gun violence, and any other questionable activity.
