  1. I'm a hunter and recreation shooter, just at targets. There is methods of sensible gun laws. Background checks for all sales should be required. Limits to magazines of weapons should be implemented. Limit rifles with power such as above .22 caliber rifle and all shotguns should not be semi auto. They're un-sportsman like to hunt with semi autos. And such firepower is only used for assault needs; military battle. Either a hunter safety course or other course should be required before the ability to purchase hand guns. Armor piercing and explosive weapons, automatics, prior mentioned higher powered semi auto rifles should be prohibited without special background that is more in depth, and permit with frequent inspection and specification of storage and use. Mentally impaired people, those diagnosed and have inability to handle their own finances, are not capable of making appropriate decisions with firearms; and should therefore be prohibited in purchase and possessing a firearm even under supervision of a firearm. Hunter safety already is required for hunters in most states including mine; a fire arm safety course should be required regardless if for hunting or just for other private use; its very helpful learning safety in all aspects of firearms. For fast implementation; offer a buy back program for unwanted firearms, including illegal arms to get them off the market, and less accessible to underage or otherwise unstable or convicts on probation or other persons who have lost rights due to past felony convictions. Worked in Australia. And they have a very big gun culture as other countries do as well... Switzerland for instance. Common sense rules mitigate potential disaster. And any decline in gun violence would be worth any constraints or inconvenience to gun owners while still preserving the right to take privilege in owning and using a firearm. Just as in the case of drivers, the pedestrian's rights generally take priority over the driver's rights. The unarmed person's rights takes priority over the person who is or wants firearms. Those who want or have firearms have taken upon themselves increased duties and responsibilities.
