I usually don't post links, but I thought this was a good one about backgrounds checks, which I think are ok, and the recording keeping that certain people want to verify that a background check was done. Best article I have seen on this issue. Seems to me that record keeping = registration, which is not so good. But, do the gun stores keep the records of who buys what?

Also, want to vent about the bill that provides money for video cameras in schools. How the heck is that going to help. That will not stop anything. I can't even beleive that is a serious proposal.
Seems to me like the issue is how best to we keep the guns out of the hands of the mentally ill people who do these teribble acts without violating the 2nd amendment rights of everyone else. The focus should not be the gun, but the mentally ill people.
