| Superman4 said: LOL. Here is my take on what needs to happen.
1: No restriction on type of guns available for purchase 2: Mandatory background check and mental health evaluation every 5 years, every 2 years if you practice any religion. 3: All weapons must be registered to owner, if transfering ownership 2nd rule still applies to new owner 4: Gun safe fitting size of weapon must be purchased or owned and proof must be supplied 5: Coneal carry available for all gun owners in all states provided they have #2 and #3 rules completed and up to date. |
Thats decently close to what I would want:
1) Some restrictions on guns that have a high damage capacity (ex. fully auto, rocket launchers, etc) and things which do not support the intent of the second amendment
2) Mandatory background check for all firearms transactions (including private transactions)
2a) Increased funding to every state to help them get all mental health and criminal data into the relevant databases
3) Broadening denial criteria to include all violent misdemeanants, those under temporary restraining order, and those with criminal prosecutions for alcohol or drug abuse
3a) Rights to be renewed after a set period of time depending on review of risk for each demographic
4) Tax incentives to individuals for gun safety equipment such as gun safes, locks or smart guns
5) Federal funding to companies working on smart gun technology
6) Federal funding for research examining topics surrounding firearms such as gun safety equipment efficacy and gun violence risk indicators
7) Federalized concealed carry system which would allow license holders to carry in any state, and normalize the conditions for acquiring a concealed carry license based on risk assessment
Stretch Goal: Mandatory safety training for all gun owners and Mandatory proficiency training and emergency training for all concealed carry holders.
