The FBI said they believe that Lumpkin bought the weapons for the felons, knowing that, under law, they were unable to buy firearms due to their felony convictions. [More]Noting the sterling examples set by our nation's law enforcement leadership and their "Authorized Journalist" PR teams, I prefer to think of this as a failed tracking attempt.
"No matter how you cut it, there's no epidemic," he says. "This report should calm the fears that many people have that these numbers are out of control." [More]The Congressional Research Service report also notes:
[Q]uestions are often raised by the media, gun control advocates, and gun rights defenders, but seldom answered definitively and officially. Among those questions ... Did the shootings occur in designated “gun free zones”?If they're not answered "officially," why do you suppose that is?

A more practical manner of reducing gun deaths is strict bullet control at least as serious as with driver’s licenses. Licenses of several levels like level one for limited # bullets for a 22. To own high capacity clips or clips for guns with more than one bullet at a time must have advanced level bullet certificates for mental health and from police every two years. To own high caliber bullets or clips with more than a few bullets you would have to have training similar to an officer. Licensees would also have to keep records of their bullets like pharmacists do with narcotics. How many they have, who they give or sell them to, how they were used (target practice, etc). [More]No.
