In reply to the discussion: How can we drown the NRA in a bathtub? [View all]Waltons_Mtn
(345 posts)3. Force registry of all guns.
With an annual renewal of $100 per gun. As part of the registration, the gun must be inspected by a gunsmith once a year. ($250) The gun owner must prove adequate knowledge and the proper use of the gun annually, such as a shooting test (30 rounds that must score hit on the target with all shots) Use of any weapon not registered would be a felony. One year in jail. If you kill someone with a unregistered gun, that would be a capital crime. (death while commiting a felony) The costs would be high to legally own a gun, but you would still have the right to keep and bear arms. That is how you drown the NRA in a bathtub.

No, the tax on cigarets and alcohol is a Sin tax. Because both are bad cigarets and alcohol for you.

Thanks. You give the wingnuts that "kernel of truth" from which they distort reality about us.

Hell, friggin Norquist is on the NRA board of directors -- if anyone doubts how right wing they are.
