1. Stop the sale of semi-automatic assault
weapons and all accessories and kits immediately.
2. Enact a buy-back of assault weapon
clips and large capacity clips for any weapon.
Limit gun makers to the production of civilian available clips holding a
maximum of eight rounds. Enact a $500 fine per clip for anyone found in
possession of a large capacity magazine.
3. Enact background checks and a waiting
list as a requirement for the sell of any firearm – including gun shows and
private sales. Fund law enforcement agencies
to include the ability to perform background checks.
4. Charge any gun owner as an assessor
to any crime committed with his or her firearm – to receive a comparable
sentence.
There was an assault weapons ban enacted in 1994; but George W Bush and
Republicans allowed it to expire in 2004.
All Republican law makers and some Democrats try to pretend that implementation
of reasonable gun safety restrictions is too difficult, and that we must settle
for more comprehensive background checks and mental health treatment – whatever
that means.
The will to pass gun safety laws is corroded by the money lawmakers accept
from gun manufacturers and gun advocates.
Their jobs, there positions are more important to them then the gun
carnage we face every single day in this country. These lawmakers are complicit in every death
that occurs from assault weapons and guns with large capacity clips.
