34. maybe start with new guns and insurance companies

Tue Jul 5, 2022, 10:23 AM

Jul 2022

Start with new sales. Work with insurance companies - start with regulating like cars before banning. Huge liability insurance for anyone hurt by the gun. Retire all old guns and ammo. Require gun makers to change new guns and ammunition so new ammo doesn't work with old guns - is this possible? Stop production of all ammo that works with existing assault weapons.People can trade in for new guns and ammo but only with valid registration and insurance. Those collectors keep what they want but will run out of ammo eventually. Problem is that all stakeholders need to be involved with this- manufacturers, law enforcement, law makers, citizens, etc.
