1 - Already have it on new. Unenforceable on old. Criminals don't do background checks.
2 - Unenforceable
3 - Unenforceable
4 - OK with this, but won't be all that effective and will probably only lead to abuses.
5 - OK with this, but lack of such training has not shown to be a problem.
6 - Unenforceable and, as already mentioned, it is impossible to guarantee such a list would not be used for nefarious reasons. Besides, why would anybody believe such a thing? We were first told that gun control did not mean registration. We got registration. Then we were told registration did not mean bans and confiscation. We got bans and confiscation.
7 - OK with this, but will have no effect on curbing gun violence.
8 - OK with this, but will have no effect on curbing gun violence.
