I Love It - Not Gun Control - But - Ammo Control.......

[Orrex]

19. A fair start indeed--thank you.

Those are among the first concrete suggestions I've seen on the subject from any gun advocate that didn't amount to "we need more guns."

Here are a few that I suggest in addition, some of which I suspect you will not support:

1. Background checks and registration of all newly purchased firearms, including those resold privately or at gun shows.
2. Background checks on all ammunition purchases.
3. Ballistic fingerprinting of all newly manufactured firearms as well as any firearms seized as part of a criminal investigation.
4. Mandatory minimum sentences for any crime committed while in possession of a firearm.
5. Permanent forfeiture of all firearms and ammunition by anyone convicted of a crime involving the use or possession of a firearm


Love your suggestions about a mandatory waiting period and requirement of owner training, and I like this one as well:

Limitation of pistol magazines to what fits inside the grip of the gun. Require that new designs not support magazines that extend beneath the handle (BATF already has authority to force design changes). This is readily demonstrated by the Ruger line of .22LR handguns and the Astra 400/600. Grandfather or buy back at retail price non-conforming magazines. This approach also slows down magazine changes. Note that the NRA has rejected magazine limitations.
