ALL 107 countries above America have 100% gun bans
We DO need gun control reform. Don’t laugh... I’m serious.
The NFA of ‘34, the GCA of ‘68, and the FOPA of ‘86 all need to be repealed. All State laws against the simple act of owning or carrying of any “arm” must be repealed. Any and all taxing and licensing schemes must be repealed, particularly where it doesn’t allow said tax to be paid or does not apply to those who are incarcerated for some other crime or currently remanded to an mental health institution.
Once that is all done, then we can talk about real crime control and putting protections in place for those who use their armaments against real criminals.
I demand gun reform! I demand that every non-felon citizen be issued one semi-automatic shoulder fired weapon (OK, OK- assault rifle, even though it ain’t one) and one personal defense weapon, pistol or shotgun, along with a starter supply of ammunition if they choose to accept. Felons who have served their terms and are free may purchase their own.
If they choose to purchase additional weapons, up to and including attack aircraft and tanks, that’s their business!
“While critics have said these measures would do little to impact the threat of violence in schools, the bill saw overwhelming support by the American public, AND WOULD HAVE BEEN AT LEAST BEEN A STEP TOWARD MORE COMPREHENSIVE GUN REFORM.”
Ahhh, so the NRA was right after all. This was only the camel’s nose under the tent. They had a lot more planned after this.
