Here's what I think should happen in the realm of gun control.

1. Universal Background Checks, all firearms, handguns and rifles, should go through an FFL dealer background check.

2. Safe storage laws in the home when children are present and meaningful penalties for negligent deaths as a result of non compliance of such laws.

3. Mandatory training for the lawful use of firearms before first purchase.

4. Beef up the BATFE to go after corrupt dealers and citizens.

5. Strict regulations for CCW, IE: rigorous training on the lawful use firearms for self defense and the consequences of using said firearms.

6. National registration with the caveat that the database can never be used for confiscation.

7. Mag limits of 10 for handguns and 30 for long rifles. What's good for the govt. should be good for private citizens.

8. I'm always open to other reasonable suggestions.

Really? What about the AR owners in CT refusing to register their weapons with the state under the flamin lib Feb 2014 #13

It's a feel good, useless law that will do nothing for firearms violence. sked14 Feb 2014 #14

It's the law. Ergo to not register makes one a criminal and not law abiding. nt flamin lib Feb 2014 #15

It's a stupid law that will solve nothing. sked14 Feb 2014 #17

Like I said, only if you like the law. nt flamin lib Feb 2014 #23
