Well, could we get behind this admittedly unconstitutional law if it included:
1) Elimination of all waiting periods and instant background checks everywhere. No need if all gun buyers have to have a license.
2) Repeal of the "assault weapon" ban. How can they justify it if all gun buyers are registered?
3) Repeal the machine gun manufacture ban. It shouldn't have happened in the first place, no reason for it now.
4) Ditto the magazine bans.
5) A true national CCW is included as part of the permit. Why not, if I have to carry a photo ID with me?
6) Most importantly - it's a shall issue permit, renewable every 5 years or so with a minimal charge ($50 or less).
7) Includes the right to sell/buy what you want, where you want (across state lines, etc).
8) Elimination/overriding all the local laws regarding transport/posession of firearms.
9) Complete repeal of the Brady Bill, GCA of 1968, and 1934 - can't justify them any more since you have be licensed to buy a firearm...
Any other ideas? I don't dream we'll get any of this, but if they really want a national photo ID card for gun purchasers "for the children," they will compromise, won't they?
