So, with recent events, we all know someone is going to try to introduce some batshit gun control bill in congress. With that said, literally ANYONE can write the bill, but only a member of congress can introduce it. So what if Jow Forums wrote the law? What could we do that would actually gain bipartisan support? Yes, it would mean more regulation, but in exchange we could rewrite existing laws that would be pro-gun.
Personal thoughts, and i'd love feedback or other suggestions:
>Change the purchase age of firearms with removable mags or 10+ round capacity to 21 (leaves rifles and shotguns for hunting at an 18 year old purchase age) >Universal background checks, BUT allow access to NICS to private sales >Federal license needed to purchase ammo (no limit on amount) >Change the NFA tax stamp to a rate equal to inflation to be reviewed with every new congress (currently would be around $3800 for a stamp). >Remove suppressors from the NFA list >Repeal the Hughes Amendment so civilians can buy full auto again (same background/paperwork requirements as in NFA) >Add *some* new restrictions to the background check (Red Flag type rules) >Remove import restrictions on "military" style firearms (LET IN REAL KALASHNIKOVS AGAIN!!!)
I think it removes enough restrictions to bring over the pro-gun groups, while adding enough restrictions to make the gun-control group happy.
> What could we do that would actually gain bipartisan support? nothing. there is only 1 way to get bipartisan support and that's to concede. this applies to 100% of issues atm. welcome to politics of the 2010s

>compromise >not invalidating statewide, citywide, and federal anti-gun legislature for directly violating the US constitution Also, it doesn't matter what you do, because shootings will keep happening, and the drummed up emotional outrage and support for more anti-2A legislation will drown any pro-gun agenda at the large scale in the US. It would be nice to see some of those points, though.
Yet the federal government already infringes on some weapons and people. This list would make some guns easier to get, and certain people less able to.

Gun owners compromising yet again. Maybe everyone else should be the ones compromising.

The idea behind it would be a compromise. Some new restrictions, but the removal of quite a few others. It would force both sides to give a little.

>red flag Fuck no the moment we have nation red flags is when we’re all fucked and not the ammo I don’t want the gov knowing I’m buying ammo I’ll support the Hughes amendment being repealed but i can’t deal with a license to buy ammo
Jacob Morgan
Why would Democrats accept any compromise when they can bide their time, bring in more immigrants, and gain a permanent majority in a decade or so?
