Unfortunately you are right. This tragic accident happened even though 
hand guns had to be registered by law  since 1934. Now we spent one 
billion dollars registering long guns the last few years and politicians 
  claim they are doing an effective job spending your money in fighting 
crime. You are right when you label them as idiots- no should be big 
idiots.We should cut their salaries to one dollar a year and pay them 
what they are worth. Where can I sign a petition to this effect?
