With all the attention given to the tools used by spree killers recently and Sen Feinstein's bill that has ex post facto issues as she plans to introduce it (make things that are legally owned today illegal through no action of the owners beside 'owning' said item) why not attach one of the roots of this issue. The Oregon mall shooter stole the semi-automatic rifle that he used to kill two people (before being confronted by a person with a concealed carry permit and killed himself) was stolen from a friend who did not have it locked up. The firearms carried by the spree killer in Newtown, CT stole them from his mother who did not have them properly secured. A solution to this is to write into the tax code a tax exemption for any sales tax paid on a gun safe as well as a credit on the personal return for the total purchase value of the safe. This is just for personal safes in private homes.

this was created by senator proxmire a world war two vet that spent his entire life each day in congress to enforce the 48 geneva conventions this act forbids hate groups and hate speech.

Gun violence is a public health and safety issue that is largely unregulated. According to an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association, US taxpayers paid over $1 billion in a single year for gun-related injuries (http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=191001). Liability insurance on guns will hold gun owners accountable for the proper use of their guns, while protecting the public and lowering health care-related costs for everyone. It will encourage gun sellers to sell only to responsible people, thereby reducing their own risk. Courts will see it is in their "compelling interest" (and, therefore, constitutional) to make it mandatory. There are many legal precedents for liability insurance. Fully privatized underwriters will offer lower rates to responsible gun owners. Insurance companies will appreciate the new source of profits. This is a win-win proposition.

There are too many persons wearing badges that feel They can break laws trespass and violate civil rights of citizens to make or facilitate an arrest with out warrant or due process of law. If the police are breaking the law and violating constitutional liberty's Are we all at risk of corrupt or unjust police actions. We were given rights as u.s. citizens to protect us from unlawful activities of police officers and state ,government and any other agency that feel they can harass us as they feel fit to do. Our constitution is there to protect WE THE PEOPLE. We need to stand up and get our rights of this God given country back.

Andrew Carl Beach, age 24, was murdered on July 20, 2012, through a depraved, conscious and wanton criminal act. The crime is deserving of prompt and aggressive prosecution seeking a sentence that is commensurate to the crime that resulted in Andrew's catastrophic, violent death.

I am a gun owner, member of a shooting league, and a concerned citizen. I feel it is important to address this issue from our perspective.

too many people who are not in need of public assistance are getting ebt cards for food and/or money. you see them at the market using the ebt card, then hop into a new car. more investigators are needed to crack down on fraud. drug testing should also be mandated, as you have to be tested to get a job, why not ebt cards?

The shootings that take place repeatedly in our country have to stop. Every gun eliminated from the street supply, makes every where in the country that much safer. If a no questions asked guns for groceries worked in LA, and it did, every state and every county and municipality should do it! Some states would never decide to do it. Local federal law enforcement should make this program an ongoing process available every day the office is opened.

Young people are being killed over Jordan sneakers that are made through the NIKE company. Its over priced and the supply does not meet the demand.

An estimated 34 gun deaths occur daily in the United States. These thousands of deaths a year include many innocent children. Unlike the tragedy in Newtown, CT, they go largely unreported by our national media. In order to provide greater balance in the current public debate of guns and proposed gun regulations, we believe the media should give a regular and periodic report providing the name and age of the victims.

Property valuation for taxation, by the Island County Assessor's Office, is very inaccurate, violates WA Statutes, and doesn't follow industry accepted appraisal practices. It also demonstrates favoritism (and the opposite if one dares to fight the system). I purchased a pacel for 50% of the Assessed valuation due to severe eagle encumbrance. I couldn't build on 58% of my land, nor clear trees for any view. The Assessor refused to adjust their erroneous, simplistic valuation. The County valuation appeal system is just as corrupted. The State appeal system is only slightly better. When I talk with others, they have similar complaints. The system must be im,proved!

I have a son with autism and the kids are sick and this do not work for them all it do is make them upset and hurt them.
