1 of 2 Reasonable gun control: Ban assault weapons, large clips, large ammo buys Background checks No one with history of violence, especially domestic violence, can buy/own One week or more waiting period Create national gun registry

That’s not reasonable. It’s complete destruction of the 2nd amendment.

Not at all. All Constitutional rights are subject to reasonable restrictions. Surely you aren’t arguing to replace democracy with anarchy!

Your subjective biased view on what you deem “reasonable” is full destruction of the 2nd amendment. (2) and (3) are already established and enforced. (1), (4), and (5) are unconstitutional provisions that have been struck down by SCOTUS on historical and contextual grounds.

Close to HALF of gun acquisitions are finalized without any background check whatsoever. Matthew Miller, MD, ScD; Lisa Hepburn, PhD; Deborah Azrael, PhD. “Firearm Acquisition Without Background Checks” Annals of Internal Medicine. Retrieved February 20, 2017

Wrong. Roughly 80% of firearm transactions go through FFL’s. All firearms transferred at FFL’s adhere to the 4473 & NICS process. All. Any violations to this process is a felony. 20% are private transfers. A far cry from your “HALF” statement.

22%, but that is a study of only ~1600 ppl volunteering info. Only 19 states require checks for all handgun sales. When one state implemented requirements, gun violence dropped 40%, another repealed them, gun crime went up by 25%. Trafficking in states w checks is 48% lower.

Way to downplay that figure. That “1600 volunteering info” is the most accurate estimate given the methodology of the results deriving data from the GfK. Some statistical variables by the NCVS or BJS have an even smaller sample size. All 50 states require BGC’s.
