Reply #176: Right, what part of the word INCENTIVE did you not

[FubarFly]

understand. I don't think California had the right approach. I am suggesting a more civic-minded alternative. If you put more money in people's pockets, and this was entirely VOLUNTARY, trust me, people would sign up. With the sale of new guns this would be an almost sure thing. Would you rather pay $500 or $425? For example.
Slowly but surely, you change the way people view guns in this country. As both a right- no doubt!- and a responsibility.

But of course with all of the hate and fear filled rhetoric out there, there is no way we can discuss decent proposals without some lunatic yelling about slippery slopes.
