You pass a NICS check You are given an ID card that shows you have passed You can buy, sell, and carry any firearm you want, anywhere you want. No registration, no permits, no restrictions. Now that's government regulation I could live withNO NO NO NO NO. You have transformed a right into a privilege. YOU DO NOT NEED GOVERNMENT APPROVAL TO EXERCISE A RIGHT. If you have to get approval then it isn't a right anymore. When I was growing up you could order firearms through the mail. Way less violent crime then than today. It shows just how far into the filth of progressivism this country has sunk when someone on a conservative board espouses gun control.

Simpler:
US citizen? Check.
Within these United States, its territories and protectorates? Check.
Second amendment applies.

If this were a game show, the originator of this “great idea” would hear a buzzer, receive some Lee stick-on nails, and be escorted to the studio exit.

How about banning criminals in law enforcement and school administration like these two? Seems like a more worthwhile idea as opposed to banning guns.

Yep, ban revolvers, lever-action rifles/shotguns, bolt action rifles, pump-actions rifles/shotguns. And then muzzle-loading guns and bows and arrows. Whoops forgot to include crossbows.

You’re making a lot of assumptions I never intended. I’m not sure I implied them. Maybe later when I have time I will expand.

How does this stop the bad guys from using their guns? Oh, are you planning to confiscate them from the bad guys? That would be great, then the good guys wouldn't jump through your hoops.

What comes to mind; Shall Not Be Infringed. Clearly a Federal Registry will further weaken our right to own firearms. The ruling establishment wants to confiscate all the firearms and those listed in a federal registry will be where they start.

Now that's government regulation I could live with NO NO NO NO NO. You have transformed a right into a privilege.
The 1934, 1968, and 1986 gun control acts have already done that. The situation above would be an improvement on the status quo, unlike the proposal in the OP.
YOU DO NOT NEED GOVERNMENT APPROVAL TO EXERCISE A RIGHT.
Try telling that to a gun dealer the next time you go into a gun shop and try to buy a gun from him without an NICS background check. Let me know how it works out.

To: TexasGator
Besides, those who have a CHL are not required to go through a background check anyway.
In Florida we do. Eight bucks worth. Which state are you in?
Texas. We can walk into a store, select a gun, pay the money and then walk out with it. Of course we have to produce our CHL.

To: Simon Green
In spite of your deliberate misunderstanding of my post I’ll explain again. we have a God given right to self defense reiterated in the constitution. The so called Brady instant background check changed that already. What you espouse is another step further down the road to a totalitarian state. We should be working to repeal this garbage not make it more efficient.

To: Simon Green
A semi-automatic firearm is one that fires a single round for each pull of the trigger, automatically reloading in between each shot until the ammo is depleted.
This would also apply to a double action revolver. Any single shot rifle or pistol. Foolish.

More like a plan that he fancies sounds benign enough to get gun owners to bite so the slope can be slowly greased.
