Guns don't come from the aether. They're made and sold and stolen and trafficked right here in the USA. Make them harder to buy and you reduce the pool of guns being bought for crime and trafficked across state lines. Make owners take more responsibility for their weapons so they can't be stolen during burglaries or robberies. Don't let pawn shops sell guns period.
Illegal guns, like drugs, come from somewhere. You'll never eliminate the supply, but you can reduce it. Give law enforcement a fight they can actually win.
This gun was legally purchased. Mass shootings, and criminals with stolen guns are different discussions. And NYS currently has gun storage laws. I'm not sure how you "make owners" take more responsibility than that.

I've been a gun owner for 40 years, but have never belonged to the NRA. Some of my shooting friends have been critical of that, saying that they are the only organization who will stand up for my gun rights, and to some extent I deserve their criticism. I just fail to see the constructive need for some of the arms that are defended by some gun activists. AR style weapons with detachable mags are not necessary in any environment other than a human killing environment. You don't need DM's on the target range, or in the field hunting, or even in home defense(some may argue this). But they are one of the key features that school or theater or mall shooters rely on to in crease their killing power. I do enjoy guns, shooting them, and hunting with them, but will probably never own an AR style weapon. I wouldn't mind automatic rifles in the hands of the public if you would make them all fixed mag, top loading, or legislate to that end.
It is interesting, and sad, that with the new administration gun purchases are down. But it wouldn't surprise me if this terrible event boosts sagging AR sales.

My family just lost a nephew to a heroin OD about a month ago. 28 YO leaving 2 kids. It opened my eyes to the depth of the problem, and it was the 1st time I've been directly impacted by it. His addiction was not started by prescription opioids, but many are.

Outlaws - Green Grass and High Tides.............. Played it for my early 20 daughters 2 weeks ago..... they had never heard it.

Very cool. was the pup the lead dog in the chase?
Porter was not in on this chase......... just the pics!
As for bag limits.... I've been calling/running them for a little over 20 years, and there has never been a bag limit. When I started hunting them, the understanding of their population was developing and the NYS DEC required a pelt tag when you harvested one. That has not been necessary for probably 15 years now, as they are literally everywhere. I have a picture from 2 weeks ago of a coyote running between the houses in a Greece NY neighborhood. Hide your cats......... but there are legal seasons. In some states they are "open year round".........

Black coyote from NYD............. 0F...... Fricken cold!

I guess because they're in similar situations...... no?

What's the logic when the Sabres pull up Baptiste and Bailey...... keep them for a short stint, and then return them to Rochester?
They typically play low minutes and perform pretty much like expected (sometimes better than expected), then get sent back. Seen it a couple of times now between last year and this year, and it has to be demoralizing to them when they return to the AHL.....
I think Crisco has had a decent pull with the Sabres, but I'm expecting him to return anytime now, chin on chest...........

...I WANT to see players like Stamkos...and Ovechkin..Crosby, McKinnon...I do not want to see them get hurt by anyone, including the Sabres.
I want to see Crosby take a stick to the nuts................

The Browns (Cleveland) were undefeated in the preseason!........ and have not won a game so far during the regular season....... so, not to worry wrt the Sabres preseason W/L record.
I am a Browns fan, .................... and one of the steps to recovery is to admit it.
