(6,324 posts)I would LOVE to be able to buy a suppressor for my pistol to avoid hearing damage. No real interest in full auto, but I would like to have a rifle with a barrel under 16" without paying a $200 tax and waiting a year for a background check and paperwork.
Training- I say take it a step further. Don't just require a class if you want to buy a gun. Mandatory gun safety training for EVERYBODY, not just those who choose it. Do it in high school just like drivers ed and sex ed. That way even a person who somehow accidentally comes across a gun knows how to safely handle it.
Only 2 I have issue with is no concealed carry and warrantless searches. Scratch that and I am fully on board, especially when it makes suppressors easily available with no wait to taxes.
But honestly, it wouldn't change much. The laws are not that much different now, and the big differences between the USA and Norway and what crime is there are not found in how we regulate guns.
Honestly, do you think gun control advocates would trade allowing more full auto and silencers and eliminating states AW bans and mag bans in exchange for nationwide mandatory training and licensing?
