A proposal question [View all]

I am just want to see peoples feelings on this idea.

Would you be open to a piece of legislation that bans assault weapons, limits magazines to 10 rounds, and set up a national uniform shall issue concealed carry law. The carry law would require mental health screening and background checks along with range training/qualification (similar to what police recruits get but tailored more to what a non-officer might encounter) and classroom education. EAch time a permit holder would renew his permit he would have to requalify on the range (similar to how police officers are)

what would your feelings be?
