I suggest it is time for the USA to overhaul it's gun laws bringing them in line with modern weapons. For this to happen all three branches of government will have to start acting together.
Classify weapons and their uses. From little pop guns, muskets, bolt action rifles, shot guns, revolvers, automatics, sub-machine guns and so on.
Military grade weapons must be held only by members of County and State militias.
Then in stages, introduce Federal laws so each State will over time come into line with the same base laws all over the country.
All firearms to become licenced and for those who hold military grade firearms to attend at their own expence at least two militia camps where their fitness and competency with arms will be tested. Failure will result in the immediate removal of said Militia status and guns.

Actually , in order to get a gun legally , I had to take a class , which included shooting at a target , proper handling of a gun , and a written test , then I had to apply for a permit which included a full legal background check , which required a several weeks wait , Then I had to take my license permit with me to the gun shop .

Brilliant

Could work

The wand is a nice touch.
What puzzles me are all the gun owners who are not out there killing but want access to these assault type weapons all in the name of the 2nd and their personal freedom, who are a minority in this country, yet want the rules bent to them against a majority who want to live life in all aspects without fear of getting shot up by someone who is clearly unstable and perhaps just wants to die while taking as many with them and creating fear.

If you're pointing out the hypocrisy of the religious right, I'm right there with you. Women should be treated with the utmost dignity, respect, and privacy when making this life-changing decision.

If you're suggesting that we liberals should start making pariahs out of customers at gun shops (who, I must emphasize, are overwhelmingly good, law-abiding people, many liberals like myself who just enjoy shooting & collecting and/or who feel the need to be trained and prepared for self-defense if the incredibly unlikely should come to pass)... well, I can't agree with you there. Sorry.

Not a new idea, but good for the conversation.

Would you make the same requirements of women who want a gun?

Food for thought.

and treat their dealer like an abortion doctor complete with protests in front of the shop (and maybe harassment from state authorities? ... i'm not sure what the usual treatment is there)
