We need to change the policy on obtaining a gun from permissive to restrictive licensing.
In restrictive licensing, the presumption used in permissive systems is reversed: the applicant must give a sufficient reason for allowing him to have a gun rather than the licensing authority being required to show a reason for denying the request. Instead of saying "all but…" members of the prohibited classes may possess firearms, the restrictive system provides that "nobody but…" those who are specifically approved may possess the firearms covered by the system.
The estimated rate of private gun ownership (both licit and illicit) in the United States is 101.052 firearms per 100 people.
It's time we make our country safer from mass shootings like Blacksburg, Newtown, Fort Hood, and many others.
