What about the mentally healthy people that buy a gun and then suffer an incident of become mentally ill later, theres not a renewal process for that.
I agree that the net does have to be tightened to catch the obvious sick people from buying a gun.
But I do agree with the Senator or congresswoman on the news today, there's no need for box magazines or people to own assault class rifles at all. There also has to be better enforcement in terms of gun storage in the home.

Well obviously you can't control everything. Bad things will still happen regardless of what we do. But the RCMP have said that they prefer the 5 year renewal on the PAL license versus the 10 year because it helps weed out potential problems. I would imagine they have something to back that up.
As for other solutions, as one of my American friends said to me today.
"Perhaps we should spend less time killing children in Pakistan, and more time taking care of our own."
