Make it harder to obtain a gun, I’d like to see mandatory self defense classes, as a gun owner I have a CWP and took the time to learn its operation. I’d like to see gun owners being taught that it’s used in a defensive case not an offensive nature.
I’d like to see magazine restrictions to 10 per mag regardless of gun type. I’d like to see no civilian be able to own an automatic weapon regardless of their training. I’d like to push overall safety with weapons.
There are still plenty of options. The question will always be is forcing someone to take classes and get licensed a violation of the 2A right? The. The other elephant in the room is what do you do with criminals who already have weapons outside of these parameters?
It’s a tough out honestly. There’s no set in stone answer.
Personally, I am for some kind of gun control that would prevent this type of mass murder. The problem is that none of the proposals have any historical evidence of being effective.
How would self-defense or gun-ownership classes have changed this guy's mind about shooting kids?
10-round mag limits is a joke - they are easily altered and a good operator can change mags very quickly.
The Assault Weapons ban in the '90's has long been established as a failure at preventing crime - so why would it magically work today?
I agree that background checks are essential, they certainly are in my state. But restricting the average citizen's rights, that may or may not help, just for the emotional, knee-jerk response of "doing something" is ridiculous.
