I've seen enough in my life:

4 murders
1 suicide
1 accident

*********

These could have been prevented if it weren't for guns too easy to get being close at hand.

Throw in the idea of an unaccounted for gun, a weapon that I personally had to deal with, a gun registered to WHO exactly? No one was certain so I took said gun to the Sheriff and had it destroyed/melted down. I heard more than one sigh of relief when I did that!

Idiots out there with guns and they don't even know WHO they are registered to? be damned.

I hope for stronger measures soon; the sooner the better IMO.
