One bill is needed to restore gun safety to America; it must include the following and more:
Ban all enhancements like bump stocks that make legal guns automatic. DOJ can regulate and ban any physical modifications under their own authority.
Ban all assault rifles. Three years to surrender them or be subject to criminal arrest.
Mandatory waiting period before you can take possession the gun of 10 days if you have all the legal paperwork completed. Longer wait time if the paper work is not completed until it is.
No more gun show sales. Mail order or any other order are prohibited except for sale done in person at a gun store where they have verified all legal requirements of the sale before handing over the weapon after the waiting period.
Mandatory background checks that must be fully completed before you can buy the guy. No sunset clause on any potential delays. If it takes a month then it takes a month and you have to wait for it to be completed.
All criminals convictions, including both state and/or federal crimes, potential terrorists on watch lists, mental health issues and domestic assault cases, even if they are not yet convicted in court are banned from owning, purchasing or holding any weapons until they are no longer suspected, on the watch list or granted a full pardon. A criminal is not allowed to vote why can they still own a gun?
A direct tax is to be levied on the sale of ammunition and on all guns. Call it the safe school tax. You want to buy it then time to pay up for the un-safety of our schools.
Repeal federal legislation that prohibits direct suit against gun makers for the carnage caused by their guns. As well as allowing lawsuits against anyone who may have advocated the use of guns. Hello NRA.
Mandatory safety class consisting of 72 hours of classroom and field training to be completed before one is granted a permit. Let’s make sure that people actually know what a gun is, how it works, how deadly it can be and be sure they can understand the implications when they decide to pick up a weapon. Refresher course every 2 years of 48 hours in length is required in order to retain your permit.
All open carry of weapons must surrender proof such as their federal permission to own this gun when asked for by law enforcement. No suspicion needed other than to request proof you own and can legally carry such a weapon.
Federal carry permits for all weapons to be paid for with the tax money from the sale of guns and ammo as well as registration fees.
Yes, that would still not eliminate the deaths but it would start to curtail them. Only problem is will such a bill survive the US Supreme Court Challenge? Looking over this list I think it would survive such a challenge as there are requirements similar to each one of these that have survived such cases already. And where would I find a Congress and President with the courage to make this into law? Certainly now with this congress and absolutely not with the spineless President we have now. He is too busy golfing.
