I propose a special license required to own such a weapon - a license that any citizen can apply for, but is much more stringent...i.e. no felonies, no drug history, pass a psych screening, demonstrated history of gun ownership, pass a class similar to concealed carry, etc. No rights would be encumbered, and responsible folk can still have their toys.If guys like Icon and Ditkaless Wonders want to own assault rifles because they are fun to own and shoot and because these two gentlemen, and thousands like them, enjoy collecting and owning firearms, why should we stop them?
What I want is for guys like them not to be bothered. But I also want terrorists, bad guys, and sociopaths to be prevented from having these weapons. There should be a reasonable way to try to achieve both goals.
Hunting and self-defense category weapon ownership would not be effected.
