| SpokenTruth said: 1. National registry and licensing for all guns and gun owners. 2. Register all gun and ammo sales. 3. Private sales must be notarized and registered. 4. Must pass psych evaluation and safety training every 3 years. 5. Owners must carry Gun Owners Insurance. 6. Cannot own more than 4 guns without a "collectors" license. 7. If you have kids under 18 living in the house, guns must be locked and/or unloaded. 8. National background check prior to any gun or ammo purchase. 9. Criminal history negates license. 10. Illegal gun/ammo sale/ownership results in felony charges. 11. Circumvention of these results in felony charges. Want to be a responsible gun owner? There you go. |
That's delusional because it has no chance of ever happening. First, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 are against the constitution. 3 is a copy of 2. 7 defeats the point having a gun in the house for protection. Any responsible gun owner will teach gun safety to their kids. We already have versions of 9 and 10. 11 is redundant.
If you actually want to reduce the vast majority of murders, illegal drugs/guns and reduce overall crime, go after the gangs and wipe them out. If you want to decrease the amount of mass shootings as it's commonly known and limit the damage when they do happen, use the relatively appropriate amount of armed security at likely targets. It discourages attempts and there's trained people available to deal with it when it happens. If it doesn't work then why do celebrities have armies of them and are rarely ever attacked even though there's plenty of crazies that are obsessed with them out there? Trump is still alive because of security. These options wouldn't take long to implement, don't violate people's rights, have no chance of being tied up in decades of litigation, has a real shot at working and they net alot better positives for everyone.
