28. For a start, registering all firearms. Just like cars.
How about banning all firearms that have no practical purpose other than being efficient at killing people?

How about storing all firearms in armories where they can be checked out for a particular use?

How about making it illegal to carry a loaded firearm at any time other than when it is in legal use? i.e. Hunting, target practice.

How about applying some of the same rules to firearm owners that we do to getting a driver's license? Physically capable of operating one. Mentally capable of operating one. Knowledge about how to use one safely.

We don't let people drive if they're mental cases, drunks, addicts, etc.

What is so unbearably restrictive about treating gunowners like responsible citizens rather than a priveleged class?
