If the Republicans really want to "make America safe again", this is what they should do:

1. . Ban the sales to private citizens and private militias of all semiautomatic rifles and pistols, bump stocks and high capacity magazines to any private individuals or militias.

2. . Issue a gun buyback program for all such weapons.

3. Pass minimum sentence as follows for the commission of any crime using a gun::
   a. 2 year sentence for any crime not resulting in physical injury or death.
   b. 10 years for any crime resulting in physical injury, but not death.

4. Make it a felony for anyone to use to threaten or intimidate another, punishable by both fine and a 1 year sentence.

5. Get tough on all forms of scams -- on line, telephonic, written, or in person.

6. 6. Ban the sale and use of equipment masking telephone numbers.
