How many more?

I was just wondering how many more of these mass shootings are going to have to occur before someone decides to take up gun legislation again? While I know even though the 2nd amendment says "well-armed militia" and not "everyone can have guns" it will never be overturned but I have what I feel are common-sense ideas for sensible gun-control. And it's more then anything I've heard coming coming out of Washington.

A) A strict background check for gun owners. I really never understood why groups like the NRA are against that. There is nothing that can't be bought after a background check.

B) Stricter penalties. If you are convicted for murder you should automatically get the death penalty. After all doesn't the bible say eye for an eye?

C) If you are a minor you should be charged as an adult. Period. Also see above

D) The guardians of minors should be accountable. They should not only pay damages but should also face jail time. Parents should know what their children are doing and if they are not responsible enough then they shouldn't be parents!

E) Gun shop owners and trade shows who sell guns need to be accountable. First see the background check and if guns bought in their stores or trade shows should be fined, shut down, or also even charged as an accessory.

Now if anyone says more guns are the answer they are stupid. Period. More guns creates more problems. Anyone who says otherwise has no clue in the reality of life.
