SOMETHING, since the political winds and the make up of the 3 branches make it so that nothing being passed is out of the question.
SO:
What would you support/vote for? Here is a spattering of what has been suggested so far in legislature:
- ban transfer or possession of standard capacity magazines, targeting those that hold more than 10 rounds.
federal regulation of gun shows. This legislation would require background checks on all gun sales at guns shows, and impose addition federal regulations on these traditional local events.
ban Internet or mail order ammunition purchases, require a federal license for all ammunition sellers and mandate reporting of “bulk” ammo purchases.
create a national database of people “prohibited” from buying a firearm.
ban all private firearm transfers.
establishment of a firearms owner registration system for decades.
Ban various types of imported weapons
Various aspects of the assault weapons ban
Outlaw GLOCKS
Personally I agree with the last one.
My opinion is that if you come to the table with something you are willing to give up (that doesn't make a god damn bit of difference anyway, like national database of people who are forbidding to buy a firearm), then it will play out as essentially a defensive legislation move. I have seen what happens when you don't come to the table at all and the wind is blowing to legislate something (see the medical device tax, med tech didn't come to the table and now is paying the piper, pharma came to the table is is sitting pretty).
