I know I might sound a bit militaristic, but you can have all the control you want over weapons but it won't change the undeniable fact that the weapon has never and will never kill a human being on its own. It's human beings that use the weapon to take life. Just a simple fact that a lot of people seem to overlook. I don't know why, either. I have said it before and I will say it a second time - you can leave a weapon, loaded, on a table and it will never fire unless someone pulls that trigger. What we really need is better control over who has weapons. I believe we need to do a full evaluation before someone buys a weapon or a flag that is sent up when someone with mental health or dangerous habits buy one.
Also, Goodlatte is an idiot. I have done work for him and I know where he lives and I have seen his house (it's in Hunting Hills) and...he's making it rich on stupidity.
