This plan would've done nothing to prevent Newtown, or the shooting in SC, although there is not a lot wrong with this plan. The probelm is that politics, interest groups and the media present such polarizing views creating political gridlock on yet another issue. An all out ban on guns will never happen at this point, heck they can barely ban assault rifles in most states. It has been said he vefore that guns need national legislation, not state legislation, which is a huge part of the problem. Responsible ownership and education is perhaps the biggest issue in the US. Parents having guns in the house along with people who should not have access to guns seems to be a common theme in the mass shooting cases.
