You act like there is no process today. No background check. No waiting.There's a segment of our population that will never admit that these special types of guns are different, and should be controlled differently. Why we still cater to those people, is beyond me.
There absolutely could be common sense laws put in place that preserves everyone's right to own these types of guns, but makes getting them more of a process. And there could be laws that allow for scrutiny on the manufacturer and gun dealers that sell the ones that end up being used to harm other people.
Buying a weapon like this is often aspirational. If someone isn't willing to wait an extra week or two to get it, then that alone might be red flag enough to not allow them to buy it.
There might not be a ton of legal precedent here. But precedent seems to be something pretty much everyone is willing to overlook these days...on all ends of the political spectrum. Maybe its just the time to do the right thing?
Why don't you go try to buy a gun and actually see the process?
