My main issue is when they attempt to ban certain firearms under the happy brand word 'assault weapon'.
As of the moment anything which has been dubbed an assault weapon generally only accounts for 0.85% (from Feinsteins numbers) - 2.5%(entire Rifle Subset provided by FBI.Gov). The bad taste in my mouth comes from the misinformation and bad statistics.
The problem child? Handguns. Problem areas? 250,000+ population centers.
If this is the case I can already speak for how you solve these issues!
1.) Disallow anyone from purchasing handguns without a Concealed[or Open] Carry license. Use National Guards in each state to sponsor public education classes which allow people to get the licenses for $15 if they pass the tests. This license lasts for 5 Years, and each registration of new handgun(s) requires a new background check[as is normal with the 4473].
2.) As said before, we need public education courses for firearm safety/handling. As of the moment the standard tuition for handgun safety classes is $150 out of your pocket. That's ridiculous, and needs to be fixed. We need safety courses, firearm handling/operation, and otherwise to be brought as public education courses by the government. This will greatly reduce accidential injuries/death and will weed out those who only wish to buy firearms to look cool.
3.) Ban Gun Buyback Programs.
Historical firearms are destroyed everyday thanks to ridiculous programs which attempt to promote 'saving the local community'. Such programs should be out-right banned if their primary purpose is to destroy firearms and waste material.
Now here's my way of doing these programs... Purchase the firearms from those who bring them, and get the standard pricing of what they are. Take said firearms and give them some TLC, and then auction them off on GunBroker, GunsAmerica, or some form of auctioning site. It's rudimentary, but it would displace the firearms from the local community, and would in some respect save priceless historical firearms which are going to be tossed away into some smelter[Burn in hell, LAPD.]
I could go on about public education, mental healthcare, and job centers but that would be dragging it on...
