1) Capture as many gun transactions/information as possible in national databases. If possible, 100% gun registration.
2) Background checks on all gun transactions including ammo.
3) Gun licensing and mandatory recurring gun safety training.
4) Extra taxes on gun and ammo purchases.
5) Requirements to carry liability insurance to own a gun, with increasing premiums based on the types and quantities owned.
6) Limits on the kinds of guns that can be manufactured, including guns locks keyed to owner’s DNA, fingerprints, etc. (single shot weapons preferred).
7) Requirement to store guns in government approved safes when not in use. Ammo must be stored separately.
8) Random home inspections and certifications to ensure #7 or...
9) Requirement to store guns in federally owned storage sites with waiting periods to draw gun out for use.
10) Waiting lists to buy a gun.
11) Limits on the number of guns that can be purchased per year and/or total number that can be owned.
12) Anti-gun curriculum added to schools (children, doctors, and others encouraged to report gun owners).
13) Requirement to send guns back to manufacturers for annual serviceability checks (this one would be a boon for gun manufacturers, sort of like Obamacare for health insurance companies)
14) Requirement to file plans prior to transporting any gun across state borders (with a long wait for approval of course).
15) Requirement to buy government approved container and pay for professional installation in vehicle prior to transporting any gun.
16) Pressure companies to put financial pressure or stop doing business with gun manufacturers, merchants, and owners.
17) Heavy fines and permanent ban from ever owning another weapon for violating any of the above infringements.
18) Mental health check for owner and everyone in household prior to approval to buy a gun subject to the other restrictions above.
19) Whatever else they can think of to make it extremely difficult to own a gun without “infringing” on the right to bear arms!
Mental health checks come in at #18. That could mean everything from PTSD to your doctor reporting you for saying you occasionally binge drink or just drink more than two adult beverages per day.
I’ll contact Senator’s Wicker and Cochran but I don’t think Cochran has ever voted the way I’ve asked.
I’m not surprised at all by Manchin or any democrat, they say what they have to say to get elected but getting rid of firearms is more important to them than holding any seat. I believe that any democrat who loses a seat over a gun vote will be taken care of. I do believe tha manchin doesn’t believe he’ll lose his seat. I wrote the following comment last month regarding blue state senators voting with the Red States on guns.
“If the demosocialist want this bad enough they will get the vote in the senate even if it were to mean they would actually lose control of the senate, if there are anymore elections or possibly they now have the “ground game” to win any state or will have by Nov. 2014.”
I would like to beehutch slap some of my fellow West Virginia gun owners who voted this turd in for a six year term and swore, “Good Ol’ Joe would NEVER support any form of gun control, he’s got an A rating from the NRA.” ...
It seems that West Virginians never learn why they shouldn’t vote for Democrats.
And I'd just like to remind those simian morons at NRA/ILA:
SEE???? I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!
Endorsing a demonicRat, and giving it an "A+" rating is just plain DUMB!
URGENT MESSAGE TO ALL WEST VIRGINIA NRA MEMBERS
Dear West Virginia NRA Member:
Chuck Schumer, Dianne Feinstein, and other anti-gun members of Congress are pushing a proposal that would dramatically expand the current instant background check system by criminalizing private firearm transfers. They are using the misleading label of “universal background checks” to create confusion in order to pass this legislation quickly through Congress.
Don’t be fooled. Any system that criminalizes private firearms transfers – whether between a grandfather and granddaughter, father-in-law and son-in-law, or two law-abiding gun owners who have known each other for years – is a direct infringement on your Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Further, criminals will never submit to such a system so it will have no effect on crime – and the only way to enforce “universal background checks” is to create a national registry of gun owners. Please email, write, AND call your U.S. Senators and Representative and ask them to OPPOSE this gun control scheme in addition to any bill that would reinstate a failed ban on semi-automatic rifles or magazines.
