Serious question to regular posters in this forum: Do you support the Democratic 2020

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

7. Some of it yes, other parts no. Details below.

I count 8 individual points noted in the text to which you linked. I can support some of them and I will detail below which and why or why not. I apologize for the likely long winded reply to follow and thank you in advance for your attention and consideration but mostly thanks for starting this discussion.

PLCAA:

My short answer- I am in favor of the concept expressed in the law but having the existing fragmented case law upon which it is based codified as legislation I feel is unnecessary. I am in favor of mom and pop enterprises in any area of business competing with chains and franchises. That includes gun shops. I do believe that small businesses have been defendants in lawsuits simply because they were parties in the chain of custody of a gun between its manufacture and an accidental or deliberate injury involving the gun and not because they actually failed in due diligence or acted criminally.

Reasonable regulation:

I agree. Even the Heller decision clarified that the RKBA is subject to reasonable regulation.

The assault weapons ban:

I am, in general, against a new AWB. I have read no convincing description relating any functional combination of attributes that make an AR-15 type rifle (or others) banworthy. Feel free to plaintify your reasons in support.

The gun show loophole:

Federal law has never required and has prohibited private firearm owners from accessing the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System. Private sales, by federal law, require no NICS BGC. I favor making a BGC available to any private seller via local law enforcement financed by federal grants.

Mandatory child safety locks:

I agree that every gun should be manufactured and sold with a safety lock making it inoperable.

Handgun photo license I.D., BGC, and safety test:

AFAIK an ID is required for proof of residence for all sales from federal firearm licensees. An NICS report listing to proceed with the sale is also required. The safety test or course completion should be at the state's option and their enforcement.

Your clear and detailed response to the points above would be appreciated.
