-Limit the number of rounds per clip to 6, and to slow reloading, the clip can only be released by use of twisting a wrench on a nob while pressing a release trigger (requirign the gun be placed on a table).
-All guns require annual reliscencing at the local police station and visual inspection for compliance (just like cars).
-All gun owners, spouses AND dependents be subject to psychological screening at the local police department every 3 years.
-All guns that fail to comply must be repaired within two weeks, or be seized and destroyed.
-All gun owners be listed in a public and searchable online database that includes their name and addresses.
Broader laws
- Guns be taxed at 75% their sales price.
- Ammunition be taxed at 75% their sales price, with a minumum cost of $65 per round.
- High Capacity clips be outlawed.
- The US Government and Department of Defense establish a list of "Weapons of War" that retroactively and proactively bans private ownership of all weapons on this list. These are weapons, and their commercial cousins, that were primarily designed for military or law enforcement purposes, and shall be banned by name annually. This will supersede the nebulous definition of "Assault Weapons", by naming by name exactly what weapons people can't own.
- Gunmakers be made liable for lawsuits.
- The FTC must certify every new gun model is consistent with the above laws before going on sale.
- Outlaw gun shows
- Outlaw private gun sales
- Outlaw home fabrication of fire arms (getting ahead of further developments in 3D Printing technology, which will mature in the next decade) and the sharing of schematics.
- Nationally required 10 day waiting period, one gun-per-customer limit, 30 day background check.
- Severe penalties for production of own ammunition, or violations of any of the above laws.
- Mandatory 60 day prison sentences for any clip with more than 6 rounds. Mandatory 6 month prison sentence for any non-Loud colored gun.
- Mandatory Ban for life for any third offense of violation of gun laws.
