A national database of felons and mandatory background checks. This will not catch every nutcase out there, but as history proves, many of the nutcases could have been caught. Let’s make it easier to screen.
A mandatory gun safety course. I’d enlist the NRA and the military to help develop the criteria.
I would also like to see additional checks on people who buy guns with a high rate of fire (TBD ) and magazine round count (TBD) as well as additional checks on people who buy a dozen or more firearms. How much firepower does the average citizen need for “protection?”
It’s not a total solution, but it is a start. Of course, the GOP will interpret this proposal as “Yet another radical-left, socialist liberal who wants to confiscate guns from law-abiding citizens.”
