Pursue reasonable gun laws
Requiring licenses and better background checks could mute opposition.
By Walter M. Phillips Jr.

Someone who has been arrested for multiple robberies, but convicted of none (witnesses might have not shown up, changed their testimony, or been murdered), is not someone who should be allowed to buy one handgun, let alone the 10 he may seek to buy (since there is no one-gun-a-month law in Pennsylvania); neither should the individual who is under investigation by the attorney general for major drug deals (but who never has been convicted of a felony).

Well Mr. Phillips, may we welcome you to America where its citizens enjoy the right to remain presumed innocent until proven guilty.
This may be a difficult concept for you to grasp, but hang around long enough and even you might come to recognize that we Americans don't much appreciate trading away our liberties, that our ancestors died to secure for us and our sons now die to protect, so people like you can feel all warm and cozy in your fantasy world of pacifism.
