(6,036 posts)I think a start would be to offer an olive branch such as a line that won't be crossed. Might be Black Powder Long Guns, or Bolt Action.
Something that takes the specter of complete confiscation off the table. In turn that might require background checks and a mental health eval. Devise a Class system such as Australia uses to differentiate between varying legalities of firearms with increasing requirements as the class increases. So we don't apply the same rules to a 22LR as a AR15 or Mini14.
FYI - The 10 Shot Blackpowder Pistol runs afoul of NY States recent law on pistol ammunition capacity.
On edit Gun enthusiasts really need to also speak out on Open Carry in Public places. That really has no place in a modern urban/suburban environment. Save open carry for the rural area's, when out hunting or other appropriate activities. You don't need a Mossberg Pump to go to the local Walmart.
