I couldn't agree with you more.  Yes, I have no problem with closing the gun show loophole.  But how would you prevent a private sale from happening?  You know the kind that takes place in the 'hood out of the back of someone's car.   Most of the guns that were used in mass killings were legally purchased in a gun store.  I could support preventing people on the do not fly list from buying guns, but there needs to be a quick appeals route for those that have been falsely identified.  There is currently an appeals process, but it takes a very long time, since the agents assigned to that function were moved to looking at new buyers.  What I am against is knee jerk and feel good legislation,and political theatre.  If I thought that doing stricter gun control would stop the killings, I'd sign up in a heartbeat.  But the killings are just a sign of a larger issue.

and BTW, I understand that Germany is rethinking their open arms policy for refugees.  Seems it was better as an idea than a reality.
