If you could change ONE thing about Gun Laws...

Since I'm in California, it certainly isn't just one law so I will group them into what I'll refer to as Goldilocks Laws.

Any law that makes a gun illegal because it's too big, small, cheap, scary, black, has too many convenient grips, can be fired to fast or easily...

I'm sorry it's not just one law, but one law in California would just be replaced by 20 new laws.

NFA guns would NOT require the $200 tax stamp

"NFA guns would NOT require the $200 tax stamp"

Yeah, so they'll make it $2000.

Be careful how you wish for things.

Why do we need gun laws? They certainly don't reduce crime.

I don't like the idea of gun laws, either. I'm afraid they're so entrenched that we may never see the repealing of all of them.

So, if we accept that they are a necessary evil, I believe they should be structured so they cause the least possible interference with "lawful" uses (I'm aware this is a circular argument...) such as self-defense, hunting, target shooting, whatever.

Any gun laws should be concerned about gun safety.

I remember seeing a bumper sticker not too long ago that suggested that gun control was "tight groups". Well, maybe this isn't that crazy.

I suppose I could live with government regulations that were basically a statement of the Four Rules. I have no idea how they would be enforced, but this would at least make some kind of sense.

Forget muzzle control? Didn't keep your finger off the trigger and put a round into your leg? $50 fine - first offense, etc.

This will never occur, but it would be a lot easier to live with than the onerous, conflicting jumble of laws we have at present.

If a little law is good, a lotta laws is better.

Right?
