Swamp,
You will never find a post where I said to ban all guns. Sharpen up on the reading comprehension if you can.
Here is my list:
1. Semi-automatic weapons banned...no NEED for civilians to have them. If you have a fetish, seek psychiatric help.
2. Magazines that hold more than 8-10 rounds banned. Again, no NEED for civilians to have them. If you can't hit your target with that many shots you are too dangerous to be using it in a combat situation. And if you are not in a combat situation then what is the rush?
3. Background checks and waiting periods for anyone wanting to buy a firearm sold by anyone. Nerf weapons are excepted. 30-Day waiting period.
4. Creation of a national database and registry. If you sell your gun, it has to pass through this process. If a weapon you purchased is used in the commission of a crime and you failed to report the resale, you will be charged with a felony. Or if your weapon is stolen. And you better have a gun safe. How about one that requires a thumbprint to open?
Any law-abiding citizen can still own a gun to hunt, for sport, for self-defense, or fight back against a tyrannical government. Let's make it harder for a nutcase to wipeout a kindergarten class. Will it eliminate all crime? Nope. But it will eliminate that particular crime. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
