What most people don't realize is that background checks are required for gun purchases, at least in the states I have lived it. You also can't buy assault weapons (aka fully automatic weapons), despite what the media would like you to believe. Perhaps the background checks could be done better. Regardless, what exactly is your recommendation? You also might want to keep in mind that the call for additional gun control whenever there is an incident of mental illness or terrorism based gun violence only creates a spike in gun sales. Obama should be recognized as the gun salesman of the decade.

begin by re-instating the national law to stop selling automatic military rifles to anyone; then offer buy-back for assualt-type rifles now out there (like they did in Australia); stop all gun-show sales that do not do back-ground checks; strengthen the background check system for all gun purchases; do not allow ownership of multiple guns; introduce new gun safety technology in gun manufacture. 32000 americans die from gunshots every year. your cheap shot at our President was not appreciated.
