Another Day, another mass shooting

Even as the national media obsesses about the dead and wounded in San Bernadino, 4 more people were shot in Georgia overnight.  We are on track to record 1 or more of these massacres every day this year.   The hand wringing continues, even as it is now suggested that football fans should be allowed to carry concealed weapons to games!  There are solutions to this problem, but seemingly no one with any authority feels empowered to offer them.  If we treat guns with at least as much care as we do automobiles it would go a long way toward slowing the slaughter in the streets.  Register every firearm and license all gun owners.  Neither of these actions will impinge our so called second amendment rights, but will at least give criminals and the mentally ill some pause.  Background checks and perhaps advanced psychological testing for those seeking the right to wield firearms would be another check.  Something needs to be done before death by gunshot overtakes disease and vehicular accidents as the number one cause of death in America.
