Sativa_Rose 02/14/18 6:02:31 PM #9:	One of the fundamental problems with the gun control discussion is the lack of discussion of actual policies.

I do acknowledge that something needs to be done, but damned if I know what it is. There's two things we can do that would help. 1. Requiring people purchasing a gun pass a course teaching them proper gun safety. This would be to target people leaving their guns out in the open causing accidental harm to a child getting hold of it. 2. Each state has their own gun control laws. Some states can be pretty lax while others are pretty strict. You could instate a federal min standard higher than what some states currently do.
