^which is why your example of books and cars is retarded.
Common sense gun laws would be designed to directly affect the SAFETY of our citizens. Just like you have to take your shoes off for the TSA, or drive the speed limit, or wear a seatbelt, etc etc etc.
Limiting you to 3 handguns instead of 42 is not the same thing as burning your harmless book collection or confiscating your televisions. Come on man, you're smart enough to recognize the difference.
You don't have a constitutional right to drive.
Should we ban books that advocate hateful ideas? Violent ideas? Communism has killed more people than any idea in history of man. Should we get rid of books with that idea?
Since guns are not a leading cause of death in America, should we spend so much time talking about them?
One thing I think we can do is invest resources to clean up the NICS database. I don't understand how some of these errors keep happening, it seems to be a pretty straight forward process (send records to FBI in West Virginia, they do the rest). There is some issue here with the bureaucrats collecting this data obviously. I support the idea that we need to figure out what is causing these failures and fix it.
EF, it is essentially a 50-state system (with the exception of the military and some other federal government branches).
If you get convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in Washington State, they transmit that conviction to the FBI and you should never pass a FFL background check again.
What seems to be confusing is if you're on active duty, and are convicted of a crime who does this?
Otherwise, there was another shooting (I forget which one) where the shooter should have been flagged by the NICS and was not. As a guess, there are probably a lot of paper and otherwise missing records in perhaps too many of our states.

Here is an Opinion column that touches on these issues. We've got to do something in America about obviously crazy people who gravitate toward violence and don't get the right treatment.
