Let's make new gun control laws.?

Question

I am not in favour of taking away everyone's guns.

Neither do I like the idea of anyone being able to get a gun whenever or whereever they want to.

Can you give a succinct answer detailing how the USA can make a system of laws that limits gun violence without completely removing the right to bear arms or giving too much power to the government?

Answer 1

More thorough background checks.

Answer 2

Let's enforce the gun laws we already have instead of passing more laws to just make people " feel better" .

If citizens started demanding that gun crimes not be plea bargained to light sentences or probation that would be much more effective .

Gun crimes are to have a additional 5 year sentence just for the gun. It went the whole way to the Supreme Court and has found constitutional but how often is it enforced?

Look just recently in California, Snoop Dog plead no contest over an illegal gun and received probation . Was it just because of who he is ? Or is it the normal court sentence in California?

Answer 3

Require everyone to own and carry a gun. This will severely limit gun violence. You will never have another massacre. You will still have a few murders, but they will be stopped shortly after they start. The law abiding go home living. The criminal will never kill again.

Since there are already laws against murder and murderers don't seem to give that too much regard, I don't think a law on guns will be regarded highly by criminals either.

Answer 4

First of all, guns are not going to go away. You and everyone else have already heard it a million times in many forms, when guns are out lawed ...etc etc

Education would be one way to improve gun owner responsibilities. Hunter education courses should be required in every state for anyone buying a hunting license, done in most if not all already. Hand gun or non hunting type fire arms purchases could involve mental health checks and yearly or bi- yearly up dates. More criminal back ground checks and medical back ground checks. No legal sales to non US citizens..PERIOD!

Heck, even calling a persons family or job before selling them a gun would help keep the wackos from getting one.....legally

Answer 5

you're good. The gun administration did no longer help for the period of this one case... so it may be thoroughly abolished because of the fact it did no longer ward off a violent crime that would have occurred with or with out the better administration being handed. What a undesirable, illogical argument you merely made. interior the region you recent, it is honestly much less stressful, and lots greater logically sound, to argue that this incident skill the gun administration rules did no longer bypass far sufficient.

Answer 6

Very difficult question Boss!!! With open borders, it's impossible! Close the borders, you defy the very basic principles of the democratic way of life. The best way, is stringent enforcement of law concerning prior conviction and gun possession. If you have been convicted of a qualifying crime, and your caught with a gun in your possession, no if's and's or but's, you go to jail for a long, long time. Period! If you commit violent crimes against children, women, or defenseless citizens, you are toast!!! Our basic problem today, is, we won't hold the violator responsible for what they did. We want to blame someone else!! His Dad, His Mom, The society, his Teacher, whatever! If YOU do the crime, YOU do the time!!!! Simple!!!

Answer 7

We already have several thousand laws governing guns.

So I don't know how another law is going to make any difference.

The Judicial System needs to start enforcing the current laws regarding guns.

Finally, you can have a 2000 acre hole full of laws, but a criminal or someone intent on committing some form of crime can readily get a gun.

Answer 8

You cant remove gun violence. You see, in England, they don't allow gun ownership, but the IRA and the criminal element is able to obtain guns. Morton Grove voted guns out several years ago and guess what??? Crime is up in Morton Grove.

We have laws on the books about gun control, enforce them. If a crime is committed using a firearm, once convicted in court of say, " armed robbery", tack 10 years on their sentence, to run consecutive to the original sentence, and MUST serve the entire 10 years. No getting out on good behavior.

May have to build more prisons, but that's the way it is. If it isn't guns killing, its automobiles. More people die on the highways daily than are murdered or shot with firearms. I don't hear people banning cars and trucks!!! Anything can become a weapon, gun, knife, club, car, truck or airplane. You can over regulate anything, but one thing about it, if a crook knows he will do 5-10 years for armed robbery, and get another 10 tacked on, giving him at least 15 years to think about it, that MAY slow down crime.

Answer 9

I can't think of one. Criminals will get guns no matter what, they can't stop them. Look at switzerland. They have the most guns per capita yet the lowest murder rate.

The correlation between gun laws and crime is irrelevant. The poverty in the country is what causes the crime, which is a reflection of the school system. Fix those problems, then you fix the crime, in which the gun problem resolves itself.

Answer 10

"...a system of laws that limits gun violence..."

That is terribly non-specific; on the face of it, you're asking for an impossibility. Which is why the far-out gun-control fanatics present their case as one of "If you don't want anyone to ever again die from a firearm then you must ban all firearms."

Not that it's ever gonna happen but they'll never give up tilting at the windmill, will they?

Answer 11

i have no answer just a fact.
