The only gun control regulations that make sense to me a

A gun handling and safety course requirement that includes an overview
of federal, state and local laws governing the use of firearms and:

Which would have to be approved by the government, require paperwork
for proof of attendance, require the bureaucracy to manage the
paperwork, and of course require recertification every three years.


A background check for a license and an instant background
check when making gun purchases, and:

Which is already a requirement for purchase from a dealer. Give
individuals the ability to get the instant background check by putting
in a social security number.


The registration of purchased firearms tying it's serial number
to the original and subsequent owners.

Why? If the gun is used to commit a crime the police want the guy who
used it.

I'd love to see reciprocal recognition of licenses or permits throughout
all the states. It may be possible someday if all
the states had the minimum requirements of background checks and
registration.

I'd love to see Virginia's laws adopted by all the states.

I don't see any of those requirements as being unreasonable or an
infringement on the right to own a firearm. I see them as being
responsible gun ownership.


Would the requirement for a voter ID card be an infringement on the
rights of voters?

*Any* additional demands on those involved in the transfer of a
firearm is an 'infringement'. The question has to do with the degree
of infringement.

Where does it end? You indicate happiness with lots of paperwork.
Bloomberg wouldn't like your solution at all. Many others would push
for a total ban on guns and confiscation.
