Gun Control & RKBA

is a potential violent criminal, who must be controlled. Even though most people aren't violent criminals.

Instead of that, I think we should start with the people who we know are violent criminals: people who have been convicted of: murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder (and possibly a few more), and remove them permanently from society. I don't support the death penalty, but I don't see anything wrong with putting a very typical criminal - a member of a criminal street gang that has been convicted of killing or attempting to kill a rival gang member - in prison for the rest of their life.

I honestly believe that if we removed all the hard-core, life-long criminals from society, that violent crime in the US would be significantly reduced.

So why do all these proposals give a pass to violent, career criminals? The criminals obviously aren't going to buy insurance or wait 10 days before they steal a gun or otherwise be inconvenienced by these proposals.
