In celebration of the upcoming anniversary of the murders at Sandy Hook Elementary, the antis are doing 'retrospectives' and bemoaning the lack of action towards disarming people who haven't murdered a bunch of children. Normally I am loathe to offer the Leviathan any
additional power, but in this case I believe we should propose our own gun
control bill. My modest proposal . . .
- Repeal the Brady Bill and do away
with NICS entirely. It was supposed
to keep felons from getting firearms but has failed miserably. The answer is
not to “tweak” background checks; the answer is to get rid of them entirely.
- Repeal the Hughes Amendment to the
Firearm Owners Protection Act limiting ownership of full-auto weapons to those
made prior to 1986.
- IAW the 1968 amendments to the NFA
there will be a 90-day amnesty registration period every year, from January 1st
through April 1st (or March 30th on leap years). The ATF
has 30 days to process any NFA transaction. Failure to complete a transaction in
30 days will result in the refunding of all fees to the transferees and
issuance of a default registration letter, stating that the NFA items in
question are legally possessed even if they are not entered in the NFRTR.
- Any pilot or aircraft crew member who
is an honorably discharged veteran or possesses a permit to carry from any
state is authorized to carry a firearm on their airplane in any manner they
deem fit.
- Repeal the Gun Free School Zone Act
of 1990.
- Any schoolteacher, school employee
or school volunteer who is an honorably discharged veteran or possesses a
permit to carry from any state is authorized to carry a firearm in any school in
any manner they deem fit. Any school district which found in violation of this
law shall forfeit all Federal funds for a period of 6 months (for a first
offense) and not less than 1 year for subsequent offenses.
- Congress shall deem that Article IV
Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution (commonly known as the full faith and credit
clause) applies to state issued permits to carry. Any state which fails to
honor the permits of every other state shall forfeit all Federal funds for a
period of 6 months (for a first offense) and not less than 1 year for
subsequent offenses.
- IAW Coffin v. United States a person who
is attacked in a place s/he has a right to be and who is not engaged in unlawful
activity has no duty to retreat and has the right to meet force with force,
including deadly force if s/he reasonably believes it is necessary in order to
prevent death or great bodily harm to him/herself or another or to prevent the
commission of a forcible felony and shall be presumed to have acted in
self-defense until proven otherwise. Law enforcement may not arrest an
individual for using deadly force unless they have probable cause to believe
that the use of force was unlawful.
- The definition of “sporting
purposes” shall include all types of
sport and competitive shooting and all
“military style” and semi-automatic rifles, shotguns and handguns are hereby deemed
suitable for sport shooting.
- Any firearm or firearm accessory made
by a private individual for their personal use is beyond the authority of
Congress under its constitutional power to regulate commerce among the states.
- “High capacity” magazines are
hereby defined as any ammunition feeding device designed to hold more than 150
rounds.
- “Armor piercing” bullets are hereby
defined as any round which, when fired from a pistol with a barrel of no more
than 4 inches (not including recoil or sound suppressor) can pierce 1 inch of
HY-100 steel (or its equivalent) at 200 yards.
