While this is a good idea, it is still like bringing sand to the beach.
We need a comprehensive federal legislation that takes guns out of the hands of morons.

At this point I would settle for making it as difficult to buy a gun as it is to vote…if you have to show ID to vote, surely we can close the gun show loop hole that allows 38 states to trade in weapons without any ID whatsoever…
