It is possible to tweak current gun laws to try and keep guns out of the hands of criminals, abusers, and the mentally ill without affecting the rights of collectors, enthusiasts, hunters, and target shooters. Being a naysayer on any gun related suggestion won't make the issues go away. Every single one of our rights contains restrictions and certain responsibilities. Gun rights shouldn't be the exception.

See Maryland's gun laws. They aren't perfect, but as a vast improvement over Virginia's loose laws.
