Prophet Joe on Gun Control

April 24, 2007 | By Sniper One |

Commentor Prophet Joe over at Rodeo Of The Mind has a post up about gun control.

Joe, like most of us ’round these parts, believes that Gun Control means hitting what your aiming at.

But let’s get back to the “sensible gun control laws” which John Videll wrote about. Satirically, I will agree with John Videll’s points. We should have tougher gun laws:

  • I would like to see everyone (yes, every man, woman and child) be required to get (age-) appropriate firearms safety training.
  • Once a person reaches the age of maturity, 21 for the sake of argument, each man and woman would be required to get registered for a firearm.
  • This registration would require mandatory firearms education and qualfication. You would then be issued a national firearms card. Everyone.
  • There would be a nominal fee for the card (I pay $10 for an Illinois Firearms Owners ID, or FOID card) and it would be good for a limited time (say 10 years).
  • To renew your card, you would need to range qualify again — nothing as drastic as the sniper qualifications at Ft.Benning, Georgia — just demostrate your saftey, skill and mental health in a short 30 minute exam at the range.
  • You would also be required to keep the registration card on you at all times.
  • You would be required to own and keep a firearm.
