(1,786 posts)Repealing the 2nd is not going to happen.
But here are a few ideas...
1st- 100% background checks on all firearm purchases private or commercial.
2nd- Yearly registration for accountability / traceability.
3rd- Max Capacity of 10 rounds.
4th- Mandatory initial and recurring safety training. Something the NRA used to be very good at.
5th- Tougher laws for negligent ownership. There is no such thing as a tragic accident when it comes to a firearm. It is not a tragic accident when the 3 year old finds a firearm and shoots themselves or another. It is pure negligence on the owners part for not having the firearm safely secured.
There is no way to stop firearm violence 100%. There are too many firearms in circulation and humans are
. humans. Having said that firearm ownership is a serious responsibility and needs to be treated as such. If one wants to own a firearm that is fine but that person needs to show that they are a responsible person who understand the seriousness of that ownership. None of the ideas above are anything more than an inconvenience, certainly not an infringement but they would help to reducing the violence we see all too often.
