How many times does it have to be said? A license does not speak to gun bans - that is a separate issue. Go for it!!!
You can ban guns, ban types of guns, ban types of bullets, or any other ban you want...NOW...

some people will be cops, hunters, or shoot guns at targets in the Olympics. SOMEONE is going to have a gun. Those people need a license so that dangerous people do NOT HAVE EASY ACCESS TO GUNS!

You can argue how to do this and how to do that all you want...because there are hundreds of licenses for damn near everything, and they have all kinds of checks and requirements. The requirements are not 100%, but they help!!

There are no details in the "plan" because every state or jurisdiction would create their regulations (read the book!!). Over time, the necessary checks and requirements would evolve - just like DUI laws have evolved.

I hope that makes sense.

The mental health screening seems tricky to me edisdead Aug 2023 #15

How many murder/suicides would be prevented by screening for a license before possessing a gun? Sancho Aug 2023 #16

I do not disagree with any of that edisdead Aug 2023 #17

No one would be preventing you from having a license to possess a gun... Sancho Aug 2023 #18

None of those are guaranteed constitutional rights. edisdead Aug 2023 #19

Would a license have prevented someone who posted a manifesto from easy access to guns.... Sancho Aug 2023 #29

You are delusional. He already had the gun but as I already stated Phoenix61 Aug 2023 #33

Licenses would be issued by the state government... Sancho Aug 2023 #41

I'm not asking for the name of the person. Phoenix61 Aug 2023 #40

Most licenses would be state licenses, but it is possible to have a Federal license... Sancho Aug 2023 #42

So it's a plan without any thought given to how it would Phoenix61 Aug 2023 #43

Plenty of thought... but every state would have it's own parallel process. Sancho Aug 2023 #44
