General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: I do not want an "assault rifle" ban [View all]1. background checks of every member of a household that owns and keeps guns; if someone in the household has issues that could prevent them from making decent decisions to have a gun in the home, then the guns AND ammo are stored in an accessible repository either maintained privately, or with the state. This would be a massive inconvenience for some sportsman, I know.
2. Only a few rounds permitted in the household: not dependent on the number of guns. Say, 5-10. The rest of the ammo would need to be stored in facilities at the gun range, or again, state facility. I have never known a hunter to need more than that--- or home protection.
3 HUGE monetary fines for gun owners whose guns are used in a crime...if the guns are stolen, that's tough luck, frankly. IF the owner is killed in the crime, then their estate is liable.
and one more:
Trigger locks on every weapon in the household except the ones used for "home protection," which would be allowed to have either one full round chambered, or in the case of shotguns (such as a double barrel, etc) 5 or so rounds.
This is actually not that difficult; I am sorry the gun owners are so upset that they might have to follow laws that allow them to keep and enjoy their weapons, but allow the rest of us to feel safer.
We own three guns....IF number three were put in place, we would probably ditch the handgun...so yes, this would affect us.
