If your looking for compromise, here is my idea of compromise, and one that may make a difference in gun crimes:myntalfloss wrote:Does anyone else think we're kind of expressing a cognitive dissonance? We have insisted for years that 'guns don't kill people, people do',(which I firmly believe) and yet when Obama, (sorry, Satan) suggests checking out the people, not the guns, we get our panties in a wad. Is there anything that we law-abiding gun owners will accept without defaulting to the ‘black helicopters’ scenario?
1. Develop an online background check system accessible by citizens, straight up yes or no. No details
2. Require the background check be done for all sales at gunshows and internet gun sales, face to face individual sales not subject to background checks.
(anti's should love 1 and 2)
3. Repeal the NFA (no need to restrict access to class III weapons for citizens who have been background checked)
4. Increase mandatory minimums for crimes committed with firearms
5. National shall issue concealed carry
I'm certain that EVERYONE (including me) will find parts of this that they like, and parts they don't like.
