Tom Rice: “I think we need to have a conversation about what the Federal role is.”

Too often when we see tragedies like this, in our immediate reaction, we try to go too far, and we can't find a solution that we can get across the line.

This is a very commonsense solution that would have prevented most of these massacres.

What glares at you when you read this opinion is about a big omission in the background-check procedure.
