A simple solution to senseless shootings

Another senseless massacre of our children and our past four Presidents and Congress – yes, both sides – sit on their hands and do nothing.

The solution should be simple. Pass the laws outlawing automatic and semi-automatic weapons. Give the people who own one now 30 days to turn them in and be paid by the government the value of the offensive weapons. After the 30-day grace period, anyone having a banned weapon is subject to a $100,000 fine – or another appropriate penalty.
