In reply to the discussion: All hope is lost. DU gun debate shows that America isn't ready for real reform. [View all]LP2K12
(885 posts)A lot of us are for reform...
*Require background checks and mental health certification. This must be renewed every X amount of years.
*Close the loophole on gun show sales.
*Require private sales to go through a dealer with both the seller and buyer getting a new background check.
*Limit the capacity of magazines.
*Limit the amount of ammo an owner could have on hand in the home.
*Limit the amount of firearms a person can own at any one time.
*Require training and make it longer than 8 hours. Make it longer than a day. Create a new standardized training that takes the NRA out of equation.
*Implement voluntary buy-backs for those who want to dispose of their firearm(s).
*Create insurance policies for firearm owners, work to make them mandatory at some point. Provide discounts to those with certified safes in their home. Inspections must be done to verify the equipment, ammo on hand and firearms.
*For those who have firearms passed down as family heirlooms and don't shoot them offer a program that provides an incentive to make it non-operable.
*Remove the option for plea bargains on gun crimes. All offenders will serve the full sentence.
These are just some of the bullet points myself and other firearm owners are willing help get passed. They are not the end all, be all.
