Repeal ALL gun laws. It's the libertarian thing to do. It's also the constitutional thing to do.

I'd much rather ban the free speech of lefty loons. After all, that 1st amendment is a beeyatch.

You might make it a little harder on terror by a universal ban on auto or semi-auto devices. That is probably the limit on a ban that might conform to the Second. Improbable though.
Universal bans have always failed, and where in place are associated with the highest violence in this country.

Mandatory ownership includes most famously Kenesaw, Georgia and Nucla, Colorado. Both have very low rates of violent crime or any kind of gun violence. We should expand this nation-wide. The whole country doesn't have to run with blood like Chicago or DC.

An estimated 750,000 Pennsylvania hunters took to the woods Monday armed with High-power rifles, high power scopes, and millions of rounds of ammunition. There were ZERO mass shooting on humans. It's not a 2nd Amendment problem, nor a gun problem, it's a people problem.

Give citizens a fighting chance, make gun laws easier, and encourage citizens to learn to use a gun.

Mental illness? Depressed due to lost loved one? Forever?
A mental illness that could lead to violence against others. I never heard of a person depressed over the loss of a loved one taking another loved one's life. Sounds counterintuitive. But I realize you are stretching.

Good to know. Thanks. One less law to get passed the NRA lobby.

Or if they determine that the "desire of a gun" constitutes a strong indicator of mental illness. Circular reasoning is a common tool of the left.

Ban assault weapons.

Gun registry database.
You do know that "assault weapons" are used in only 4% +/- of all gun murders right? Why do you feel we need to ban "assault weapons" rather than ban handguns which account for over 80% of the gun murders?
