through extensively researching gun control laws and nics, i came to find that the good laws we do have don't go far enough and that they're somewhat unenforceable given that the background check system is missing more than a million records of people who are supposed to be prohibited purchasers. the public assumes that all crimes are committed by hardened criminals with illegally obtained firearms. and while that may be true in many cases, there are enough instances such as the massacres at virginia tech, niu and tucson where the gunmen were all mentally ill and all use legally purchased guns. i think that by now our legislators should be more alarmed that these incidents continue to happen anywhere and to anyone, prodding them to act on the problem. in reality, though, i go to websites for many candidates or incumbents running for re-election and see that most of them shy away from taking any position on the issue of common-sense gun control. click on their issues tab and it's not even listed. i'm here to tell you that gun violence can no longer be viewed as a nonissue in our country.
