I am a legal responsible gun owner that wants every American citizen to own firearms if they so chose and can reasonably be assumed to not murder people due to mental health issues. I've been thinking about gun regulation a lot given recent events. Here's what I've come up with so far. The second amendment was designed to protect the populus from tyrannical government and to keep a reasonable amount of self protection so any new regulation should come with the caveat that 18 and up can be legally provided with firearms and ammunition from other legal owners given that protection of self and protection from tyranny can be established. Essentially if the government goes full 1984 every adult can legally get a loaded gun in their hands. So new regulations could raise the age of high capacity round firearms(anything over 6 rounds) to 25 with empathy testing from licensed counselors. Ammunition sale could be limited to 30 day waiting period for anything over 50 rounds(one box) and we track it so you cant just buy a box everyday tobget around the 30 days. Any ammunition bulk purchase(250 or more) would be allowed with a 90 day waiting period and additional empathy screen. Going to a gun range would allow you to buy as much ammunition as you want to run through your firearm that day. No ammunition leaves the range. 18-21 will only be able to purchase ammo with signature of a legal gun owner that has met the empathy/age/background checks and 30 day/50 round waiting period. Slowing down the ability of young and mentally unhealthy people to access firearms and large amounts of ammo would help curb the mass shootings that occur. Specifically ammo regulation can help because a lot of the mass shooters are stocked with more ammunition than they ever get to fire and any legal gun owner that wants to create a stock pile could still do so over time with empathy screening. Remember murder is illegal. Individuals that use firearms to murder people are not law abiding citizens. The vast majority of gun ownership in this county is by law abiding citizens that are statically more likely to stop crime that perpetrate crime. A2 protects citizens right to keep and bear arms against tyranny. We can do that while also protecting school children in classrooms from unstable people. We have to.
