I have racked my brain trying to think of firearm regulations I believe would actually work. I am not talking about tougher consequences for illegal actions, but bans or restrictions that might slow down the flow of illegal guns. All the data I have seen points to previous bans being ineffective.
All I could come up with is a price floor on firearms, specifically handguns. Say a price floor of $250 or $300. There could possibly be exceptions for single shots or 22 caliber and less rimfires.
This would eliminate the majority of the"high point" class firearms from circulation. It would push prices on higher end firearms up, but nothing like a tax of 500% or even 100%(which is what I see as likely in the future considering our economic situation).
This price floor would not affect me very much so I might selfishly sit by and let it go if I thought I could avoid a big tax or outright ban.
Thoughts? (on the ban not my willingness to be complicit if the restriction does not affect me)
