we need to change laws about private gun sells.  License every gun owner and make every gun registered to an owner.  Then make every owner responsible to only sell the gun to a licensed gun owner.

Background checks are meaningless with our current laws.

I like that, but what happens when I come to Fred's house and steal your 9MM.  Only to use said 9MM in a robbery and I kill someone.  I get away, but throw the gun down as I leave the bank.  The cops come pick up the hand gun, run it thru the licensed gun database and find Fredtoast as the owner.  Cops come knocking on Fred's door.  In in ideal world, this makes perfect sense and I'm all for it....unfortunately this isn't an ideal world.  It all comes back to a mental health issue and unfortunately the Republicans in this state are defunding mental health programs and closing hospitals and county homes.  They are pretending mental health problems do not exist.  So I'm exceptionally curious to hear Trump say this is a mental health issue and what his plans are.  Because locally, those in his party, are turning away from those who are in need of shelters and general assistance.
