Here's what I think should happen in the realm of gun control.

3. some issues

1. Universal Background Checks- in what situation do they apply? The problem is all proposed legislation makes them to broad- for instance, you would need a background check to lend your friend a gun at a range etc... What about people with CCW permits? Do they also have go through the background check system if they have already been cleared as evidenced by their permit?

2. Safe Storage Laws- So it's the fear of prosecution, not of their child getting killed, that will make parents lock up their guns? I'm actually not totally against this but how it is worded is what makes/breaks it for me. I wouldn't be opposed to a law that requires you to secure your guns when you or another adult is not in the home. You should be allowed to keep a loaded unlocked firearm in your night stand.

3. Mandatory Training- I don't know what problem training hopes to solve. Most gun accidents aren't due to lack of training- they are because people certain people are irresponsible and act like idiots. The only thing training does is make these people "trained idiots". You would still have the same accidents. Not to mention I have a problem with forcing everyone to go through training- what If I was informally trained by a friend? If such a law passed I would have to spend money to take a training class even though I've been safely handling firearms for over 10 years- without any formal training.

4. Beef up BATFE- I don't really have any issue with this- as long as their is proper oversight

5. Strict CCW Regulation- I'm not against this if it is coupled with a universal shall-issue system good in all 50 states. That's a true compromise

6. Registration- first of all, you can't guarantee that it will never be used for confiscation- if the law is passed by congress the next congress can rescind it. It's pretty much worthless. Also, the costs of registration would be astronomical and there would be low compliance. It's simply not worth it. Canada learned the hard way after spending a few billion dollars.

7. Mag limits- Not against a limit but I don't understand your logical for handguns. Most handguns have 15 round magazines. Not to mention what about pistol calibre rifles that take handgun magazines?

8. Repeal SYG law- Why is there a reason this needs to be done?

On edit: while some of the ideas are good it really comes down to how the legislation is actually written
