Since the early 1990's the BATFE has been discouraging "kitchen table" FFL's. When I started competitive shooting in the late 1990's, I did some research and decided becoming a FFL wasn't worth the effort. Does this mean the big "O" wants the pendulum the other way?

Guns lost in transit? I can't imagine this going unreported even 1% of the time.

There are some laws on the books that would reduce violent crime if they were enforced. The first one that comes to mind is "Felons with guns". Send these guys to Federal prison if they use a firearm they can't legally possess during a crime.
I am sure there are other laws that should be enforced.

Oh well.
I think the real issue is folks that like the Second Amendment, don't vote for "gun control" democrats. So the big "O" is making a gesture.

According to the CDC, there are roughly 32,000 deaths a year in the US and declining from Gun Violence.

This means you have a 0.00010256410256410300% chance of death by gun. (...)

America DOES NOT have a gun problem.

So sad to read such things here. We agree that there are hundreds or thousands (!!!) of deaths which could be avoided - parents, children or grand-parents. And you honestly want to argue that there is no problem?!? Every single one of them is a tragedy on its own!

I have lived in the US for quite some time - and reading that makes me very sad. I am afraid you guys have a VERY SERIOUS gun problem...
