12. You'll never repeal the 2A

However, why can't we enact legislation that upholds the spirit of the 2A?

1. All guns must be registered
2. If an unregistered gun is found in someone's possession, mandatory jail time
3. Each person who owns a gun must submit to going through a mandatory state course on gun safety and have a psychiatric examination before getting a permit. If they choose to carry their gun around, then they must file a surety bond with the state to ensure that their victims are reimbursed for their damages.
4. Each person who has gone through course may have ONE legal gun in his/her issue. Second gun costs $100 and all subsequent registered guns to the same person will be $1000 each to offset training and courses.
5. The registered owner of the gun is 100% responsible for that gun. No ifs, ands or buts. No more "accidental" shootings. Your gun kills someone? Mandatory jail time for involuntary manslaughter.


Yeah. Welcome to my "no tolerance" zone.
