Gee, sounds like a good idea to me. Lets try it out first on the First Amendment. A simple common sense plan to prevent religious extremism. If you want to attend a religious service associated with a religion that has engaged in, or whose members were involved in a terror attack in the last 20 years then you need to get a federal license first. That license will be granted after a thorough background check.

Anyone who doesn't get a federal religion license can attend other churches that have not had a follower engage in terror attacks.

Also, if you want to write articles, or advocate, or preach for one of the religions identified as related to terror attacks, then you must also obtain a religion license.

There will be a grace period, of say 3 to 5 years where existing members of religions identified as related to terror attacks can still keep their religious books, and pray in their homes before they must obtain their religion license.

Once we see how it works for religion we can consider how it would work for the second amendment.

There must be NO laws for possessing, manufacturing, or selling firearms. None. Anything else is an attempt to take them or prevent their lawful use against tyranny.

NO THANK YOU.

First it would make ownership of my existing semi-automatic firearms illegal. Not sure they can retroactively do that without compensating me. A bit gray, but lots of folks would object.

No for the real objection......”...a thorough but reasonable vetting process, ...” I just can't envision representatives from California, New York, New Jersey, Chicago agreeing to any vetting process that would not be extreme or sandbagging things until such a time that they can change the vetting rules and require periodic re-licensing and re-vetting for a punitive cost, say a couple thousand dollars or some impossible insurance requirement.

This will never fly

What part od “shall not infringe” do they not get?
If every time they rant both sides give up something all they have to do is keep ranting till they can kill us with no risk.

It is what happens every time. No wonder they no longer teach history, communism omly wins when people are stupid enough to cut their own throats.

"you have the makings of a straightforward, effective system for keeping the most lethal class of weapons out of the hands of bad actors"

I don't think he knows how lethal a man with metal working tools and a little knowledge of chemistry can be... and all without any kind of licensing required.

Here’s my big idea; No background checks. Just redefine who is a “prohibited person.”

A prohibited person is anyone who has a violent or serious conviction, including drug sales. I’m not worried Martha Stewart is gonna come gunning for me. A prohibited person meeting the above goes to fed prison 5 years for being found with a firearm.

People adjudicated mentally deficient go to prison 1 year.

People found armed and drunk or on drugs have firearm(s) impounded for 30 days

If any above are committing a crime while armed, the above will apply in addition to other charges.

Although he is the one who sounds delusional, he’s basing his idea on the thought that we, the ones who value the Second Amendment, are actually delusional.

Of course we won’t accept anything so stupid

Common Sense Journalism reform.

Given the damage fake, fraudulent and deliberately misleading Journalism does to the very fabric of our society, it time for common sense Journalism reform. Bad journalism destroys lives and careers every day in this country. It time to put a stop to it.

We need a federal Journalism license to keep the News Media out of the hands of bad actors and in the hands of responsible Journalists.

If you have a CCL you don’t have to get a background check now to buy a gun.

I don’t even want to hear the words Federal Gun License. Seriuosly? What does this moron think “shall not be infringed” means. I

Gun license means gun registry and gun confiscation. Who’s going to decide what the criteria is to get the license? Who’s going to stop the govt from changing the rules til nobody qualifies?

Gun licensing is what they have in Canada and Europe.

No compromise!

Every compromise moves the liberal agenda ahead and is a loss to conservatives.

Liberals are perfectly happy to win a small compromise now and another one later on because eventually they attain their goal .

To: Simon Green; All

Regarding: 1) 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.

I can see anti-gun opponents using the part of that definition the precede’s the comma “A “semi-automatic” firearm is one that fires a single round for each pull of the trigger....” as including double action revolvers in the definition. And the movement of the cylinder holding the bullets as “automatically reloading.”

Also, a bolt and/or lever action rifle could be included by those who want to “creatively stretch” the definition.

The ONLY thing that could work in this sense is an NRA “Eddie Eagle” style firearms safety program in every school in first, fourth, ninth and twelfth grade.

Passing mandatory before graduation might be an option, too.

It’s at least as important to know firearms safety as it is to know quadratic equations, isn’t it?

Actual federal licensing of ownership is a complete non-starter. It doesn’t work that well up here in Canaduh, and having to renew one’s licence every 5 years is nothing less than a tax grab.

I have a better idea:

No registration, no permits, no restrictions.

Now there is common sense.
