Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Lawmaker wants military patrols after child's murder [View all]gejohnston
(17,502 posts)Basically Heller amounted to defining the limits of "reasonable." Did nothing radical or redefine anything. The "collective theory" has never been precedent. Reasonable restriction, yes. Bans, no (the reason NFA did not ban anything, the logic was that it would not survive a challenge.)
It is not so much as dislike as it is the definition of "reasonable", "common sense", "sane", "comprehensive" etc. never gets defined beyond those terms. I don't know anyone who wants to (for example) repeal the NFA. Many of us would like individuals to have access NICS, and an incentive to use it, when making private sales (the feds mandating it could run in to the commerce clause).
The biggest dislike of "gun control" is for the most part this:
most gun control advocates don't have a clue what current laws are
their knowledge of the issue does not seem to extend beyond Brady propaganda (evidenced by over use of propaganda buzz words"
regional bigotry (not so much here)
inability of making an argument free of logical fallacies
What are your specific proposals?
If we were to have a national licensing system, I would like it also be a de-facto CCW (like Czech Republic) and order a guns online and shipped to your door across state lines [like Canada. Type your PAL number along with the shippiing info. canadaammo.com (for example) verifies it as a real number with the RCMP, postal service (or UPS) brings it to your door]. Not sure how they do gun shows, next time I'm up there, I'll go to one and ask.
The license? A NICS check when you get your DL or other state ID. You pass, the code goes on your ID. If not (or you opt out), it does not. I think we should adopt the same silencer laws as Finland, France, and Norway.
I would call that reasonable.
