We recently had a mini simulation about this in MUN. I proposed: [quote] 1- The introduction of a intensive background checks on anyone who tries to obtain a gun license. a. After 5 years, the license should be renewed and background checks redone. 2- Institute a Federal law to ban all Assault Weapons. a. The U.S. government will buy back all assault weapons with no questions asked. b. "Grandfather Clause" Anyone who already owns an assault weapon, will be allowed to keep it but will not be allowed to sell the weapon under penalty of law. 3- Institute a Federal law to ban all High Capacity Magazines. a. The U.S. government will buy back all High Capacity Magazines with no questions asked. b. "Grandfather Clause" Anyone who already owns any High Capacity Magazines, will be allowed to keep it but will not be allowed to sell the weapon under penalty of law. 4- Institute a Federal law to ban all Armor Piercing Rounds. a. The U.S. government will buy back all Armor Piercing Rounds with no questions asked. 5- Increase funding to research the correlation between mental illness and gun violence. 6- Mandate all individuals who want to obtain a gun license to attend a 1 week course on responsible gun use. [/quote] In no way would I even attempt to compare the War on Drugs to gun control. Personally idgaf if anyone thinks this violates the 2nd Amendment. The right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness outweighs the rights to bare arms.
