I don’t have a problem with any of the 3 proposals.



Those 3 proposals sound reasonable, I don't have a problem with it either

Perhaps an exemption can added for those in the military. Short of that, I’m for what Trump proposes. Let’s face it, most teens today are smartphone addicts and moral nihilists.

Of course they sound reasonable.

Here in Washington State some yahoo put forth a law to ban bump stocks “and other features that increase the rate of firing speed including enhanced trigger function, etc.” So ANY work done on a trigger assembly to make it smoother, etc. would be against the law.

I would posit that a sling, scope, red dot or laser would also allow one to make a quicker, accurate shot and could be banned, but I don’t think they were spelled out (or exempted) in the proposal.

The proposed law didn’t even make it to the floor thank goodness.

The “common sense” law they DID pass a few years ago was billed as a “keep guns out of the hands of felons” which required all gun transfers to go through a background check. No more private sales. On one hand that may sound reasonable.

In truth, and spelled out in the 18-page law, a husband can’t let his wife shoot his firearm on their own property, even if he is standing next to her. Or any adult for that matter. (Minors under his care are allowed to shoot his weapons while he is present.)

Inheritances would all need to go through the background checks and fees.

The law is not clear on leaving your gun with a gunsmith (a “gun transfer”) - but I know several gunsmiths that will now only work on known customers in fear of some sort of sting.

Of course nobody at the gun range is getting arrested for swapping around guns which happens quite a bit. Although by law - it is illegal now.
