order against them has to completely be disarmed. Anyone with any sort of conviction for family violence should be declined any right to ownership of firearm or edged weapons.

Not too long ago I was totally 100% against anything but the most primitive sort of gun control: no one convicted of a firearms violation, no one even considered mentally ill.

But it has become apparent that there is no way to effect any change on mass shootings without background checks and maybe a ballistic record of every weapon at its factory and placed into a database. Registration of all weapons. No private sales.

Reality trumps the vague rights granted by the second amendment. It seems to me "regulated" means subject to laws that protect the most of us from the least of us.
