There should be strict enforcement of gun laws, and the consequence of violating them should be severe punishment, and IMHO, in many cases the death penalty applied. But then the leftists would say that certain minorities would be impacted, and that's not fair. Others would say that it's too cruel and unusual punishment.

Let's take the emotion out of the argument, express only the facts, and apply logic to eliminate the problem.
I will agree to take emotion out, if you agree to take god out. Our government/country is secular, and I believe all "rights" are government given.
