The US is exceptional in gun violence.
Considering Aurora, Virginia Tech, Columbine, Tuscon (Gabby Giffords), and widespread mayhem on
American streets, politicians should pass sensible gun control laws.
* Ban high-capacity magazines.
* Ban assault weapons.
* End the gun show loophole.
* Track large transactions involving explosives, ammunition, or firearms.
* mandate safety training for firearm ownership.
* Improve background checks to keep disturbed individuals from acquiring or possessing such weapons.
