a fb friend of mine, who seems to be amenable to this type of propaganda, recently shared this (from 'conservative news today'[sigh]):
this is my humble response: ..only that the law requires a LICENSE to drive. and an auto REGISTRATION. this is the law.
there is NO federal law and very few state laws that require a license to buy a gun. NO background check is required for private gun sales. federal laws require NO registration of guns unless machine guns, grenades, or the like.
these irresponsible, catchy memes are an insult to every family that has been devastated by the insidious carnage that no other "advanced" nation has to deal with.
and: while no one presumes to be able to monitor and make right all that are afflicted with mental illnesses.. and dangerous, anti-social violent inclinations.. .. laws DO have an effect. just ask the people of all the countries that have their share of mentally ill and violent individuals- and DON'T have to endure the catastrophic tragic events that are visited upon our country - again & again, w/haunting regularity.
