well ok I have seen enough posts about what gun do you want so I thought what if you can change any gun law in your state for good or bad or for the whole country.

sorry about any bad grammer or misspelling iam doing this on my phone :)
 
1. The 1989 import ban is hereby repealed.
2. The 1986 NFA registry closure is hereby repealed
3. The NFA is hereby repealed.

(my favorite)

4. In order to vote, you must present your rifle of at least 1000 ft*lbs muzzle energy at the polling station. :D
 
1. No laws restricting ownership of anything.
2. No laws restricting being armed in public.

That should cover all.
 
Alcohol Laws

Before I get beratted please read all my post:

In Arizona you cannot carry in any establisment that serves alcohol. Thankfully that does not include stores that sell it, but exclusively to places that serve it.

I do not drink alcohol. Haven't touched the stuff in years. Why should I not be allowed to carry into a resturaunt if I'm not drinking? We tried changing that law a few years ago and to many California leftovers were scarred of "rednecks" in bars.

Thats my dream, to be able to carry into any resturaunt I choose because I'm not going to imbibe.
 
Jlbraun has a good start.

To that I will add:

Nationwide ccw: All states must honor another state's ccw permit (like drivers licenses)

Federal pre-emption on "assault rifle bans".
 
Pretty much what the above poster with the 4 laws said...

... as well as mandating that every town or city with a population of over 1,000 have a city militia made up entirely of armed members of the city (not military or police, just civilians like you and me) who have access to weapons similar to those that the US Infantry use, and train to deal with disasters like floods, fires, hurricanes, tornados, major civil unrest, terrorist attacks, etc, as well as patrol or monitor the streets (much like a neighborhood watch) and calling the police when crimes are witnessed. Again, these people would not be state or federal forces, they would be comprised of, and led entirely by civilians.
Sometimes I wonder what would have happened in New Orleans had there been more armed citizens working together for the greater good. Isn't that a major part of what the second amendment is? People actually forming and maintaining militias to serve the community? And I'm not talking about certain extremist fringe groups claiming to be militias, I'm talking about a genuine, citizen run, public oriented group of people.

Also, I would like to see the legalization of open and concealed carry everywhere in the US and it's territories. If you can legally own a weapon, I don't see why you can't carry it however and where ever you see fit.

I'd also really like to see firearms education be mandatory in school. For example, make it a requirement to graduate high school that the student pass a weapon's safety course and qualify with a pistol and rifle at a school range... similar to the course that most CCW holders go through. Common sense rules and basic weapon's familiarization seem like a good thing to teach everyone.

I would also like to be able to buy a machine gun, at wal-mart, with no papers, but that's probably asking too much... But I definitely want to see all GCA and NFA laws repealed.


Just my two cents.
 
There would be three laws:

(1) No guns for predatory criminals or illegal non-citizens

(2) No guns for those certified with an abnormal mental disorder that critically impairs judgment or perception

(3) No more laws allowed
 
How about guns mounted in tanks or artillery pieces? How about explosives, nuclear weapons, fully armed vehicles like planes, submarines, tanks, etc? Anti-tank rockets?
 
How about a law requiring the Brady Campaign to shut up?

They infringe on our RKBA, we should infringe on their right to free speech. (Yeah yeah, two wrongs and all that...)

Otherwise, +1 to Fly320s.

They're fun too but ammo is a mite expensive :(
 
Restate the 2nd Amendment as:

The right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Period.

That'll take care of everything else.
 
"Shall not be infringed" is already the "Supreme law of the Land" the "Laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding".

It isn't so much about changing gun laws as it is just getting them out of the way of our Rights. Via judicial malfeasance and commerce clause mission creep, we've been screwed out of our RKBA incrementally.

Keep the penalties in place for using a firearm in the commission of an honest to the Gods crime, but criminalizing a Right is WRONG and must stop.
 
If by change you mean eliminate ... that sounds pretty good to me.


There is zero legitimate reason for any gun law on the books.
 
Well I understand carpedium's rules If we keep "predatory criminals" in jail law #1 could disapear. Also, if there were no gun laws most predatory criminals would disapear by choice or force:evil:

Rule two is one I'll put more thought into. But I think this would clear up the same way as rule one. Special ed people will be governed by their guardians and mentally ill people will get locked up, hopefully before they get a gun. It's a trade off but worth it IMHO.

I can't argue with his rule #3;)
 
I like carpediem's laws, with one addition.

If anyone tries to pass a law that will infringe on law-abiding citizens rights, they're forbidden to own or enjoy the protection of guns. That means no armed guards, no CCW, etc.

Might sound a bit extreme, but I see no reason why the anti-gun groups should not practise what they preach.
 
G36-UK,
It'd be poetic justice:evil: BUT more new gun laws is counterproductive. "Rule #3" of Carpedium's post would take care of any gun grabber types. Just let people govern themselves. The second amendment is a God given right. "Shall not be infringed" means just that.
 
The SBR law is the stupidest law I can think of right now.

Let's see, if I put a stock on a pistol, making it bigger and LESS concealable I go to jail. If I make a long gun too short, I go to jail, but I can go out and buy a pre cut down AR-15 as a "pistol" and that's fine.

It makes absolutely zero sense. none. I have no idea how it's even still around.

I agree with everyone else that there should be no gun laws (but that prison sentance and other reforms would ne needed too), however I could never wrap my mind around it being illegal to make a pistol LESS concealable.

There isn't even a clause like "you can make a pistol into a rifle, but not a rifle into a pistol" it is simply idiotic.:banghead:
 
All welfare and social securitey is repealed. Ya dont work you stave, robbery crime disappears. Prohibition of all drugs is repealed, organized crime disappears. Not gun laws but they dam well should be enacted.
