(402 posts)But i don't have a problem with licensed concealed carry.
Studies show that crime decreases when probability of being caught is too great to take risk,the only exception is with mental illness.
What i would like to see is all guns be registered and accounted for. Things i would like to see.
1.All guns tied to owners through a free license registration with harsh penalty's for not doing so,in the case of home protection one gun could have multiple people registered to it in the house hold.
2.I would like to see bullets also being registered to the same license,you buy a box of ammo it has internal serial codes or some kinda unique finger print that is tied to you at purchase quickly and easily with a scan each box being different,in the case of people reloading ammo have decent shell casing catches at gun ranges so you can easily get your shells back.
3. Guns bought anywhere including shows will be registered with a quick bar scan on your gun Id,If someone steals your weapon you are required to report it quickly,but for some reason you don't notice it gone and its used in a crime it can be tied to you making it easier for law enforcement to track the criminal.
4. ammo can not be bought with out your free gun license and with each box being unique will be easier for law enforcement.
5.if you want to sale a gun to a Friend or someone else a transfer from your id to their id must take place.
6.guns found not to be registered ever will still be able to be traced to the original seller who will be forced to comply.
Most guns used in crimes are not stolen but bought legal at first then sold repeatedly for cheaper until it gets in the hands of desperate people. I don't think this is a end all solution but i do believe it will remove most of the safety and freedom people who commit crimes with guns have with our current system.
I do not favor medical background checks because i believe it is a invasion of personal effects but i believe the registration of weapons and ammo fits just fine with "well regulated" part of the second amendment.
