If one's guns are stolen, then one is not safe gaurding his rights or the rights of others and therefore should be held accountable for that misuse of that right.

Why exactly are none of these people in police custody????

"Is there anyone out there stupid enough to believe any additional gun control legislation"

Yes, there are.

All out war on drugs would be good....

If I have 10 guns in my house laying on the kitchen counter, all of which I purchased legally and someone looks through a window and decides to kick my door in and steal them I would laugh in the face of someone telling me I owed them a 250k fine. They were locked up....in my house.
