My idea of sensible gun control:
1. No sales of long arms to those under 18.
2. No sales of handguns to or possession by those under 21.
3. No sales to or possession by aliens illegally in the United States.
4. No sales to those prohibited by court order (subject to strict 2nd Amendment scrutiny) from possessing a firearm.
5. No sales to those adjudicated mentally incompetent, unless and until adjudicated mentally competent.
6. No sales to those renouncing their citizenship, unless and until citizenship restored.
7. No sales of full auto weapons without the purchaser paying a substantial bond and completing either an authorized extensive training course or military qualification.
8. No export of firearms without federal export license.
9. No import of firearms without federal import license.
10. No manufacture of firearms other than for personal use without federal manufacturing license.
11. No sale of firearms not meeting reasonable safety standards, said standards based solely on safe operation of firearm as designed, and NOT to include safety devices, locks, or specific features or designs.
12. Destructive devices subject to system similar to current system.
13. Firearms on airplanes must be checked and secured in baggage, inaccessible to passengers.
14. No sales to or possession by members of an organization dedicated to violence against the American people or their lawful representatives or agents.
15. No sales to or possession by agents of foreign governments, INCLUDING diplomatic personnel, except as provided by international agreement or military protocol.
16. No possession of, IN A PUBLIC PLACE, by persons otherwise prohibited from firearm possession of realistic non-guns. Realistic non-gun is defined as a non-gun likely to be mistaken for a genuine firearm by a non-expert. A rebuttable presumption that a firearm is NOT realistic is created by the addition of a conspicuous orange colored muzzle cap.
