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

10. OK

1 Yes, every time a fire arm changes ownership. Why? Because status of the buyer changes, who is legal today may be a felon next week and the Gov is forbidden to keep records on current owners. To check every exchange is a compromise.

2 Safe storage should be part of the education/training program. Sufficient penalty for violation has to be part of incentive it comply, say, a manslaughter charge for any negligent discharge resulting from failure to safely store.

3 Training is part of being responsible. Your friend may not be qualified to instruct, who knows anything about your friend? Also see 2 above there's more to education than shooting. Did you know that the majority of guns are stolen from the bedside nightstand? Just moving the gun when you aren't there reduces the chance of theft greatly.

8 SYG laws are proving to be problematic with pretty bad results. Bigots and Walter Mitty types are using them to defend undefenseable behaviour
You have always been able to legally defend yourself if threatened but you were required to retreat if possible. What issue can anyone have with asking an armed person to avoid killing if safely possible?

Thanks for the consideration of the points we can agree on.
