Please be specific, since I apparently don't have common sense. What is a common sense gun law?

I hope this helps a bit. It's meant to mean laws that, by common sense, would allow gun control to take place. One such example in this article is a national permit-to-purchase. Meaning that in order to be able to purchase weapons, you would have to get permission from the country. Not sure how exactly that would work but I am still of the mind that such an act could easily limit legal gun owners from purchasing more weapons, plus it would create a tracker of all gun owners in a database.

Three common-sense gun policies that would save lives

The choice between the blood-soaked status quo and the politically impossible is a false one.

I seriously doubt there is such a thing, the government has its thought, and gun owners have theirs. There's no happy medium.

I always felt like the second amendment was pretty common sense. There's also the fact it's the supreme law of the land as well, so it pretty well takes care of "common sense gun laws" in that regard.

Let's make murder illegal. Oh, wait. Unfortunately criminals do what criminals do. Infringing on the constitutional rights of good people will not stop bad people from doing bad things. Most gun crime is committed by people who are inelidgible to legally buy and carry a firearm. You do not have the right to decide how law abiding people choose to protect their families because you oppose guns. If you don't agree with guns. Don't buy one. Just like if you don't agreee with abortion, don't have one.

The 2nd Amendment, as written and unchanged.

Background checks WITHOUT LOOPHOLES and funding to law enforcement and state judicial systems to make sure conviction databases are kept up-to-date.

The next time someone brings up common sense gun laws, simply ask them whether or not common sense dictates that a criminal will obey the law. That usually ends the debate.
