Sorry, I basically agree with gun control.

BUT I also believe in some rights.
I do not like making people that own guns destroy them.
If nothing else I have a friend with a huge antique gun collection, although he has a bank quality safe (10'x22', concrete wall/floor/ceiling) to store them.

I would ban the sale of guns, let's say w/o a purpose other than to kill people.

Hunting, target and collector guns would be legal.

ALL other must be registered, and lets say the local police have a bullet for ballistics.
Sale and transfers of these would have to be tracked. Unfortunately The goverment will mess this up, but let's just go with the idea.

Guns must be transported in non fireable condition, ie broken down and in multiple locked boxes. Else severe penalties, and the gun is destroyed.

The above is just the beginning of an idea, it needs work, even if implemented it would take 20 years before it would really have a noticable affect.

re the 2nd amendment, 100 years ago it was valid, today sorry if nothing else too many nuts floating around.

Yes, bad guys will still get guns, somehow make the penalties meaningfull.
If it helps keep them away from half the nuts that want them it would be worth it.

England and Japan are examples where guns are limited, and it has had an effect.

I guess the other side of the question is "What about my rights to feel safe and secure when walking around at the mall at work or ?????"

And finally, if someone can explain why anyone needs to own one of these machine pistols, automatic weapons, even a pistol, maybe I could be convinced.
