How about enforcing existing laws? The idiot who shot at the Church managed to get a gun because somebody managed to screw up and this guy has a history of domestic abuse. I think if more people pay more attention to this guy's personal history, none of this would have happened.
Let's make domestic abuse a felony so none of this would happen. Anyone prone to harming animals (as in harming them for sick reasons) or human beings (unless for self defense) should not obtain weapons.
Owners may keep existing weapons.

The election cycle is upon us.
Not a chance this is anything more than a campaigning tool. They know that they don't have the support, even among Democrats, many of whom own guns and are gun enthusiasts.
Fe instein announced her reelection bid exactly a month ago.
