New Background Check Idea

 Make it a law that a gun owner who has passed a background check is not LEGALLY ALLOWED to loan or give access to their weapon to someone who HAS NOT passed a background check!

 This argument that 'well designed' background checks wouldn't have stopped Adam Lanza is FALSE. If the mom had had to take responsibility for him even just shooting up some STOP signs (as many kids do) she would have definitely had 2nd thoughts about giving him access to them. She didn't want to die and she didn't want to go to jail over some small recklessness which she must have known might happen. She didn't have 'skin in the game' legally and she may have died for the lack of good law.

You should have to prove that, not only you, are not a threat to society, but also that anyone who will have access to your weapon is also not a threat to society and you should have to sign a pledge that you are responsible for whatever anyone you let use your weapon does with it. That might have stopped Lanza's mom from letting him have access to her guns.

That might have saved the lives of the children in Newtown.
