I listed how I would change things, and respectfully submit that your option of doing nothing is not acceptable. SOMETHING must be done--what have YOU got?
Bring on the discussion of how insane the 2nd Amendment is in today's age. Guns don't kill people--gun nuts with guns kill people. Lots of them. In a theatre about to premier The Dark Knight Rises.
Was the Aurora CO gun nut a fan of Limbaugh's and thought that Bain/Bane was an issue worth murdering over? Nuts, by definition, make no sense, but nuts do have a trigger.
NRA: the Protector of Nuts and Organized Crime. Time for sane people to do something to curtail the insane in power positions.
That is your premise. Changing what you described as the insane second amendment would have done nothing to stop this man from killing 12 and wounding 55+ at that theater. He was deranged, a criminal, and was bound and determined to kill. He would gave chosen another tool to accomplish this.
So yes, I posit, based on the fact known about Aurora so far you could not have stopped this.
...under current law. Captain Obvious has arrived.
Under what I propose, though, regarding tracking, the sale of the illegal guns would have flagged the buyer for enforcement the second the sale was made, thus landing the buyer in jail for selling to an unauthorized person (and it's conceivable that the seller illegally posessed the firearm, too....and in that event, the seller would already be in jail as would every other person illegally in possession of an illegal fire arm from the day the armament leaves the factory). Without a seller selling contraband, the prospective buyer is out of luck.
What would have stopped the Aurora event would be actual gun control.
