Providing current laws are still in effect for the purchase of firearms, 4473 and NICS check. No arbitrary bans on magazine capacity, visual appearances. Enforce the current laws in existence. We can add one more law. Come back denied on a NICS check, retailer notifies police immediately. In the case of the Orlando scumbag, my gun store didn't make a sale to him, they denied to sell to him and reported his suspicious behavior to the FBI. They didn't follow through, he purchased the gun he used elsewhere legally.
No more gun laws until the ones on the books are enforced. Remove suppressors from NFA too. Can either be sold like an accessory or like a lower receiver requiring a 4473 filled out and NICS check filled out. I'll be a little lenient on that if that makes you feel any better.
Treat violent offenders like they're on probation. This California scumbag possessed weapons. Wasn't supposed to. Following an arrest and the guidelines under Lautenberg act, all weapons should have been seized. I say, have follow ups just like a probation officer follows up to ensure other criminals aren't doing dope. Etc.
In my ideal society. It would suck to be a scumbag wanting to do harm to others.
Should anyone draw on you, demanding your vehicle, demanding your wallet, stand your ground. Should someone try to hold you against your will and force themselves upon you sexually, stand your ground.
Should you be in an area and gunfire erupt, remain calm, communicate with others, find the scumbag, stand your ground. Vegas. If you were on the floor with that scumbag, stand your ground. If you were on the ground and could get to a rifle to return fire, communicate with those around you, and law enforcement either upon their arrival or call in to report your identity, stand your ground. Communication is key. Maintaining composure is key. Otherwise you wind up shooting the wrong person.
In a case like vegas, you're armed with a pistol, you aren't shooting and nailing the scumbag with a standard 4 inch barrel 9mm anything at that distance.
have a rifle in your truck? Go get it if you're confident you can identify and eliminate the threat.
If in a school. You're a teacher and choose to exercise your 2nd Amendment rights? You elect to take training for those scenarios. Make it a tax deduction or have sheriff's train as part of protecting and serving.
Should Gunfire erupt, carry out your typical lockdown drill. Then stand ready for whatever comes to the door with a weapon, stand your ground if it breeches the door.
If the shots are coming from the outside in, and you have an opportunity. Stand your ground. Want to bend a little and say use a "smart" device like an rfid chip, or a fingerprint recognition interface to unlock the trigger? We can do that specifically for teachers. If being disarmed by students is a worry. Extend a law that would cause a student to be charged as an adult for attempted murder. 1 count per person in the room.
If you carry it concealed like I do, you won't print or have a bulge. Then again I'm not fat, nor do I wear skin tight clothing. I carry 2 pistols in my waistband and spare magazines for both. Could have a magazine failure. Floor plate get snagged and rip off dropping the spring and ammo. Take a shot through the hand and wipe out the magazine well and magazine switch hands eject the mag and it's parts, rip a spare mag out stand it up slam the pistol on it rack the slide on a door frame, ledge, table, whatever is nearest to catch the slide I'm back in business.
In your home. It's 3am. You wake up to a crash of a broken window or door being kicked in. Stand your ground.
The training I partake in, doesn't simply focus on shot placement.
Communication. It's key.
Say you're married, it's 3 am. Kids are asleep. Someone busts down the door. You fetch your weapon of choice, your spouse has theirs ready should you not succeed.
You go down the hallway, yelling get out of my house while your spouse goes to get the kids, hopefully you're not a fool and fix a flashlight to whatever it is you're carrying instead of shooting blindly in the dark...
Bad guy is armed? Stand your ground. But before you return to where your spouse is waiting. You'd better have a phrase or password before entering or coming near there. Your spouse is going to be tuned up adrenaline flowing and ready to shoot whatever comes within sight of where they are.
But. I will say this. You own what you shoot. Select your ammo and weapon choice wisely. You own whatever your bullet hits. Shoot through a wall and strike the neighbors house? You're responsible for whatever that bullet hits. Choose wisely.
I'd suggest subsonic and a suppressor as well as you won't be going deaf nearly as bad as a standard bang. Your ears will still ring but you won't be deaf.
As I've said before. It's not pleasant but it would work. What scumbags want to do to others isn't pleasant either. Remove the laws and incentives that protect them. They'll be the ones begging for firearm legislation as its cutting into their enterprise.
I'd say, lift all restrictive firearms laws that infringe on rights.
The most violent cities with the highest rates of homicide, all those areas to have access to firearms. And arrest those that come back denied for trying to purchase a weapon when they legally cant. 30 years minimal.
In an urban or city environment, make it illegal to discharge a weapon within the limits unless it's in defense of life or property. Seems hypocritical to allow firearms to Chicago Baltimore etc etc but if gunshots are ringing out, it damn sure isn't because someone's target practice is going on in an alley way at 2 or 3 am...
I'm not suggesting gun down dope dealers and gang members in cold blood. But if they present a clear and evident danger by all means, stand your ground.
