What Is it with Jews and Guns and Arizona? Back in NY, as in most eastern cities, Jews are rabidly anti-gun(but show them a photo of the IDF storming a house full of terrorists, brandishing Uzi’s and there is a deep sense of pride. ).

I know others with guns and that is their right. However, it is getting really old to see the senseless killings going on around the country. Here in my adopted State of MI at my MSU alma mater we recently saw how guns kill. We also saw how a kid brought a gun to school and shot other children. These are not unique experiences. They are happening all over the country. While I believe one has the right to own a gun, it doesn't give everyone carte blanche to go shooting. The answer is not to buy more guns. The answers lie in reasonable legislation to flag folks that shouldn't have a gun. Make training mandatory as we all must do in another killing machine, our vehicles. And we need to make registration necessary as we also do for that other killing machine, our vehicles. I personally feel we should limit the types of weapons sold and the ammo that goes with it. However, I'd be happy if we started with what I suggested prior to that. It is ridiculous that the gun industry, that is primarily interested in making profits is dictating our policies and convincing people that their way is the ONLY way to stay safe. To quote our Governor, "Enough is enough!"
The US should look to Australia as an example of true gun reform. No public prostration of grief -- no loud wails of thoughts and prayers -- after their first mass shooting. Just action and then true and lasting change which remains to this day.

True
Once you present your firearm,
you'd best know how to use it!
It’s possible.

Guns? Feh.
