Republicans Should Have a Conversation with Democrats about Gun Control – Under One Condition

Republicans should agree to work with Democrats on gun control under one condition; Democrats get tough on people that use a gun during the conduct of a crime or own an illegal gun.

Republicans should refuse to address any efforts to make buying guns legally more difficult until Democrats crack down on people that use guns illegally. A five-year minimum sentence for discharging a gun during the conduct of a crime is a good start.  A lesser minimum sentence should be imposed for brandishing a weapon during the conduct of a crime. Just being caught with an illegal gun should result in jail time.

Also, people that knowingly lie on a gun application should face jail time as well. That means you, Hunter.
