So your stance is to just give everybody a gun, and hope for the best. Sounds like you want it to be government provided and funded too so let’s see what we get for the lowest bid, how effective is it? How durable is it? How can it not be taken advantage of? Is there free ammo to train with? How do we keep granny from giving her ammo to the kids that go out robbing others? Sounds like we have some new standards to meet that way too.
I realize you are making these comments to try to convince us that chaos will result without Big Daddy controlling gun ownership but you unintentionally have hit upon a great idea.
Why not give citizens guns? The Government spends billions of dollars every year giving a lot of things to citizens such as food stamps and health care.
Only you are making it too hard.
I propose allowing citizens to deduct the cost of buying a gun(s), ammunition and, since you are so concerned, training costs and licensing fees such as for Conceal Carry Permit on their Income Taxes each year. By allowing deductions on our Income Taxes each year every citizen will have the opportunity to buy a firearm(s) best suited for their individual needs. A elderly person might be best armed with a soft shooting .380 whereas a rancher would find a AR-15 the best choice for protecting his livestock by killing coyotes.
How about a law giving benefits to the head of household that buy own AR-15’s? For example since you mention free ammunition how about once a year have a event where a person turns in a empty magazine(s) and receives in exchange a loaded magazine in return.
Citizens armed with AR-15’s could lead to creating unorganized militias. By unorganized I mean free of any control by the Federal Government.
