He posted a chart that said America has 3.7 murders per 100,000 residents. The next closest is Italy at 0.68. So it raised the question how can we control who and how people obtain guns and I think I found the best solution...

Stop allowing places like Wal-Mart and Bass Pro Shop to sell firearms and ammo. Build precincts at every police station that are manned 24/7 that can sell weapons and ammo to citizens who have the proper documentation and background check approval. Run thumb prints, retina scans, the whole nine yards. You could essentially kill multiple birds with one stone. Most people don't like going to police stations, especially if they have warrants out. When the station runs a background check, if something comes up, they can be arrested on the spot.

what other options would y'all suggest?

How many criminals are buying their guns from Walmart or Bass Pro now? And does anyone actually think they'd go to the local Cop gun shop to buy a gun?
