Updated Gun Reform Thoughts

In light of the recent mass shootings, I am reminded that this is STILL NOT DONE!

Gun Reform Outline:

  • Private owner and Gun show sales must go through the same licensing as Retail/Public, if not the gun is forfeited.
    • Show required to deliver proof and auditable security record of all sales online.
      • If you cannot get the registration done prior to handing off the weapon, you are the responsible owner. (See insurance requirements below)
  • Mandatory 14 day waiting periods which allows for completion of the following
    Federal requirements:
    • Firearms License – Required for all firearms (Similar to Driver’s License, and must have same vision check with a retinal scan)
    • Minimum age of license/purchase is 21
    • Assault rifles heavily licensed with the following requirements
      • Certification required
      • Mandatory high-risk liability insurance
      • All owners listed on an electronic registry available to law enforcement and other groups that would benefit from this (All Federal Agencies)
    • Background checks
      • Similar to anyone that volunteers at a school
      • Will be electronic
    • Domestic violence banĀ – Similar to Drunk Drivers, but this is a 1 strike law

Gun Insurance:

  • High-Risk liability insurance is required for ALL new gun purchases and for any Semi or Automatic weapons owned by an individual.
    • You will also be required to carry insurance on those weapons.
      • Insurance proof will be by an Electronic Muzzle Lock.
      • If you don’t insure and are ATF audited or investigated by law enforcement, $250,000 fine per firearm.

Gun Buy-Back:

  • You are also able to turn in your guns and will be paid on a measured scale. (All TBD)
    • Handgun – $100
    • Single Barrel Rifle – $25
    • Double Barrel Rifle – $50
    • Military Style (single shot) Rifle – $100
    • Semi-Automatic Rifles – $100
    • Automatic Rifles – $200

Ownership Liabilities:

  • If you own a gun (don’t turn it into a VALID Buy-back entity), and they are not insured and used in a shooting you will owe:
    • $10 million per person killed
    • $5 million per injury
  • If you own a gun and it is insured, you will pay the penalties through your insurance and your entire collection of guns will be seized pending investigation as to how your gun was used.
    • If you are found unable to control your weapons appropriately your collection of guns will be permanently taken and insurance will no longer be available to you.

Gun Limitations:

  • Gunlock requirements – Every gun must have an individual gun lock, biometric if possible
  • 10 rounds magazine limit
    • Free recycle program for larger magazines
    • Larger magazines require high-risk liability insurance
  • No bump stocks
  • No cranks
