Many people have been talking about gun control after last Friday’s tragedy in Newtown, Conn. They have many ideas, but I haven’t heard this one.

I bet 95 percent of Americans, including the NRA will agree with this idea.

Now let’s see our do-nothing Congress pass this into law without watering it down.
