In November my home state of PA went Red

25. I am not into writing law that is specific and also will be constitutional

but I'll try to be more specific.

Background checks: Make them mandatory. In this age of computers and smartphones there should be a way to do this. We should then make the original owner partially responsible if he/she did not do the background check and the gun is used in a crime. There are some laws on the books already that just aren't being enforced and they should be.

Drums and large cartridges that hold a lot of ammunition should be more difficult to get, more expensive and in some cases denied. If they can't buy a gun legally, they shouldn't be able to buy ammunition at all.

I'm sure you already know how machine guns are regulated. Just treat the military style rifles (that so many call assault rifles) the same.

If the background check can't be completed in the three days time (or whatever it is) the gun shouldn't be handed over until it's complete, but there should also be some sort of control over backlogging cases. Everything in moderation.

Open carry is an accident waiting to happen and should be limited. There is no need to openly carry a firearm in stores and on the sidewalk that I can think of.

Stand your ground. I believe if someone breaks into your house you have a right to protect yourself. No question. But it's a bit too open to abuse.

I tend to believe that there should be stronger penalties for "accidents" where children find loaded guns around their house and shoot someone, or the next door neighbor tries to shoot a crow and ends up shooting his neighbor's child.

It's terrible that we even have to discuss making a law that mandates some common sense, but it seems we're there for some.

I'm sorry if I'm not giving you the details you desire. You posted about losing elections and I replied. I do not personally own guns and I've rarely done any target shooting so this is not my area of expertise. My husband has had guns since he was a little kid and went hunting with family and friends. He lived in the country and most people had a great respect for gun safety. He doesn't leave loaded weapons out where anyone can get them but locked in a gun safe. We have talked about a lot of possibilities and he has stated that gun laws should be enforced and tightened. I gave you some examples. Hope it helps.

BTW, I do not really dislike guns, I have no trouble with people who hunt to provide food (although it doesn't keep me from feeling bad about Bambi), but I have a great deal of trouble with trophy hunters like the trump boys.
