A New Take On The Guns Don't Kill People Arguement

For years gun advocates have used this reasoning to defend gun possession:


"Guns don't kill people - People kill people"

If one follows that logic than it is people we need to worry about in the gun debate.  Need to simplify it further?  People are the problem.  It serves to reason then that we need to take a closer look at the people who are handling those guns.  It then serves to reason that we need a process that will allow us to that closer look.  Unbelievable as it may seem, we already have that process:  the background check.  We just need to make it universal for all sales.
