Okay, okay, okay...
Evidently, everyone here agrees in one form or another that the general public should be allowed to own guns. This, to me, is a very good thing...
Now then, on to my own ideas...
Yes to licensing of weapons and weapon owners.
No to grenades and other explosives without serious regulation in place (I know that farmers still use explosives to get rid of tree stumps now and then).
Definite NOOOOOOO! to private ownership of WMD's! Have you loonies seen Jericho on the TV?
Yes to mil-spec guns, but with conditions such as the citizen must be part of the local militia.
Definite no to letting metally unstable people have guns. (And let's make sure that we have as few people like that to begin with by making sure they get proper treatment, STAT!)
Yes to crushingly severe punishments for gun-code violations. Kinda like how the Japanese deal with penalties for accidents of all varieties. Very severe penalties = very few accidents because you don't want to have to take out a second and third mortgage to pay for the fine! (The Japanese do not believe in 'wrist slaps.')
