THREAD: SOLUTIONS TO AMERICA'S GUN VIOLENCE EPIDEMIC (Please Share) - Mandatory license & proper training to purchase, just like w cars - Mandatory liability insurance for possession of ANY firearm which can shoot bullets with a kinetic energy >1,000 Joules (i.e. AR-15 & others)
- "Point system" like w driving—lose gun privileges if you are irresponsible (i.e. not safely storing guns) - Enhanced BG checks with centralized database linking FBI, local police & others - Mandatory BG checks on ALL gun transfers (22% of owners have obtained guns w/out checks)
- Mandatory mental health eval before 1st gun purchase - Raise age to purchase semi-automatic long guns to 21 - Lifetime gun ban for convicted domestic abusers… temp ban for those awaiting trial - Mandatory 30-day waiting period on 1st gun purchase (proven to reduce suicides)
- Allow the CDC to research gun violence - Require police to provide detailed gun-violence statistics to the CDC (and the public) for research so that we can study trends & learn more about how to prevent these - Restrict paid marketing by gun manufacturers (like we do w alcohol)
- Repeal laws which prohibit arms manufacturers from being sued for accidents/fatalities resulting from faulty equipment - Mandatory reporting of lost/stolen firearms with strict penalties (including loss of gun privileges) for those who fail to properly & promptly report
- Ban all purchases of armor-piercing ammunition… implement a 1-year buyback program after which possession of said ammo is also a crime - 10 bullet magazine capacity restriction… implement same buyback-then-ban program proposed armor-piercing ammo ban to enforce
- Federal "red flag laws" allowing law enforcement to temp confiscate firearms from individuals deemed a threat to themselves or others - 18+ age waiver for single gun purchase if a gun is needed for self-defense—require proof of "clear and present danger" - Safe-storage gun laws
- Federal baseline "shall-issue" CCW laws, imposing required training & passing extensive tests for CCW applicants. Allow states & local municipalities to impose additional restrictions/requirements - Ban bump stocks & other devices used to convert semi-autos to full-autos
- Voluntary gun buyback program @ MSRP, with amnesty granted for any guns obtained unlawfully… increase taxes on gun & ammo sales to pay for the program
Better read it, tweeps. This is common sense in a nutshell.
