Less Violence Through Major Gun Control Changes

The time for major gun control changes is now.  Not just incremental changes, but true, overall re-thinking.  We need to deter violence.  We need to do it now!

Here are some thoughts and ideas that should be considered:

-Close the so-called gun show loophole which allows people to buy weapons without going through the background checks that are standard when you purchase

-Reinstate the assault gun weapon ban

-Eliminate the availability multi-bullet magazines, except for military use

-Develop a thorough gun application process, including a psychological test, psychological and medical backgrounds of gun applicant and all household members.  The gun application must be renewed every four years, with the full application process redone.

-Require a locked gun case be purchased with every gun, no matter what kind

-Limit the number of working guns allowed in a household to one for self-protection and one for hunting.  If someone is a gun collector, the guns they purchase should be non-working.

-All gun owners must register their guns with the local police department.  The gun permit may be revoked if there are problems with household violence.

Let's make the U.S. a more peaceful and loving place!
