(36,927 posts)Function is the only thing that matters to me, but I'm pretty sure the NRA and most gun nuts are going to like my idea of gun control even less than what's currently on the table.
At the federal level, I would ban the sale of all handguns and ban the sale of all guns above a reasonable standard for a sustained rate of fire(my idea of that is a 6 shot revolver). Any device sold or manufactured that is designed to increase the rate of fire for any weapon would be banned. I would allow state and local governments to implement their own standards which may be more strict depending on their needs. All new weapon sales would be tracked at the federal level throughout their life cycle and anyone caught violating tracking requirements or modifying any existing gun to beyond federal standards would be charged with a federal felony.
