So, I propose the following 6-step solution, which will likely displease both gun-rights and anti-gun folks alike.
There needs to be a Federal database of all guns and gun owners. 7-day waiting period before a gun is purchased and background checks on every purchase. Elimination of unregulated gun selling / trading events. Every gun sold needs to be in the Federal registry. There should be a set standard for gun ownership. Currently, it is left in the discretion of local authorities who sometimes error incorrectly either way. If you have committed an aggravated felony you cant have a gun. If you have mental health issues you get a hearing to determine your status. If you dont fall into those categories, you cant be denied a gun. Lets do as the Israelis do. Currently, here in the USA, most sports arenas have searches on the way in. That needs to be effectuated on any public place where there are crowds. In Israel, you cant enter a movie theater, bar, mall, etc., without bags being searched and wanded by a metal / bomb detector. Most gun crimes are committed by repeat offenders. There needs to be mandatory minimum jail sentences for any crime committed with a gun. Sell drugs while carrying a gun and get 10 years in prison do it again, get 20 years. We need to let the bad guys know, gun crime gets you real time.
That is a pro-gun, reasonable gun control law, anti-violence, and pro-constitution solution. If both sides would actually get out of our ideological trenches we could make that happen. This article has inspired me to send my 6-step method to my Congressmen and Senators from New Jersey while not holding my breath, waiting for a positive response.

The gun grabber traitors will never stop. Never. Be prepared to fight it forever.
Well to start with it’s unconstitutional. And the database would give the government all of the exact locations to go to if they ever did want to seize all the guns. And the fact that Canada, a country with 1/10 our population, gave up trying to build such a database after 15 years of repeated technical failures.
The Aurora shooter? Sandy Hook? Fort Hood, the Washington Navy Yard?
Were any of those repeat offenders?
I propose this nut gets the hell out of our country. Idiot.
Dear Matt.
Go “F” yourself.

Another “well-intentioned” idiot. Ps: this is the USA. “.. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed ..” Remember?
OF COURSE there is gun control. But it involves a proper stance, breath control, and good aiming technique. . .
“... all of the exact locations to go to...”. Um, probably not. :>}
How about we just make it illegal to murder someone?
The gun grabber traitors will never stop. Never. Be prepared to fight it forever.”
Not forever. In the end, there simply won’t be gun grabbers left.
When the Party decides to crack down on potential opposition, as it ALWAYS does, the Party will know exactly where to go.
LOL!
He is a fool.
And what, pray tell, do gun owners get out of this “deal”?
Litmus test: if I agree to this registration, searches, hearings, etc (all of which violate 2nd, 4th, and 5th Amendments), do I get to buy and open-carry a suppressed select-fire Glock 18 and M4 _without_ oppressive taxation/prohibition? Since I’ve submitted to any & all background checks, have all due paperwork, and by open carrying am announcing “nothing to hide”, can I carry _everywhere_? if not, would restrictive checkpoints to crowd venues provide storage upon request at no cost and without antagonism?
Didn’t think so.
To solve repeat offenders, limit all guns to single-shot.
I agree. Even amongst gun owners I detect a difference in mentality regarding their accountability to government dependent on what state in the USA they’re from.
Met some shooting enthusiast in-laws in New York State and was pretty surprised at how they looked at firearms regulation. Typically, they were a bunch of trap shooting Elmer Fudds. We started talking more about Nevada gun regulations and they must have gotten the picture that it was like one big biker gang out here.
gun crime gets you real time. —
No crime gets you ‘real time’ anymore.
Death penalty doesn’t get you death.
Now, being a Christian, Conservative, or Constitutionalist is Crazy, and we DO need to lock those up!
And we’ll need to start building more prisons.
I propose that for every gun I register, I have the right to buy a slave at 50 cents a pound. If we are going to throw away the constitution, it’s done at all levels.
Registration in Canada was required, what’d they get for their Billion dollars?
