[QUOTE="brett636, post: 340259, member: 249"] FIVE YEAR PLAN LICENSES: 1. NATIONAL LICENSING OF ALL HANDGUN PURCHASES This is at the top of our list, however, the political climate may be right to initiate this step immediately. Please refer to our memo outlining our ideas on how this should be executed. 2. LICENSE FOR RIFLES AND SHOTGUNS We should take our cues from Great Britain. Strict licensing should be mandatory -- for all firearms whether handguns or not. 3. STATE LICENSES FOR OWNERSHIP OF FIREARMS We want to take a workable idea from Great Britain, whereas, we should require the states to issue strict licenses for possession and require the licenses to be signed by at least three public officials --i.e., the police chief, city attorney and mayor, for example, to eliminate ownership by dangerous individuals. It is reasonable to require that all individuals must prove to the signers that they require a firearm. This should be attached to any legislation requiring purchasers to show a need for a firearm. 4.

ARSENAL LICENSE FEES It is not unreasonable to require a yearly fee for an Arsenal license to be at least $300, with a cap of $1000. The money collected can be used to defray the immense medical costs directly attributed to these deadly weapons. 6. LIMITS ON ARSENAL LICENSING No Arsenal Licensing to be permitted in counties with populations of more than 200,000. 7. REQUIREMENT OF FEDERALLY APPROVED STORAGE SAFES FOR ALL GUNS We should follow Great Britain's lead on this. All licensed gun owners should be required to have a storage safe which meets minimum federally mandated requirements. This step would reduce the tragic accidents which claim the lives of tens of thousands of children a year and make it more difficult for burglars to steal the guns. 8. INSPECTION LICENSE Another good revenue source would be mandatory inspection licensing of all safes. Each safe would be registered with a specific serial number and the serial numbers and types of weapons stored would be on file with federal and state authorities. Since unannounced inspectors can insure that all declared weapons are being properly stored, all safe licenses should have an additional yearly fee to offset the cost of these spot inspections. PUBLIC SAFETY REGULATIONS: 9.BAN ON MANUFACTURING IN COUNTRIES WITH A POPULATION OF MORE THAN 200,000 Guns are being built all the time and the number of licensed manufacturers it too great to justify the threat to public safety. This is a small step to reduce the number of these shops where, anything, even machine guns, are being built every day. 10. BANNING ALL MILITARY STYLE FIREARMS The pending national ban on all Assault Weapons, based on a point system can be expanded to eventually cover any firearm with a remotely military appearance. We feel that this aggressive appearance appeals to the type of dangerous individuals who are a definite threat to public safety. We hope that this point system can eventually be expanded to high powered airguns and "paint ball" weapons, which can inflict great damage, and with a little effort can be converted to real guns. 11.BANNING OF ANY MACHINE GUN PARTS OR PARTS WHICH CAN BE USED IN A MACHINE GUN Periodicals such as "The Shotgun News" particularly cater to individuals who wish to build illegal machine guns.

BANNING THE CARRYING OF A FIREARMS ANYWHERE BUT HOME OR TARGET RANGE OR IN TRANSIT FROM ONE TO THE OTHER We should institute a federal mandate to the states to strictly regulate the carrying of a firearm. 13.

AMMUNITION AND EXPLOSIVES: 18. BANNING OF ANY QUANTITY OFSMOK ELESS POWDER OR BLACK POWDER WHICH WOULD CONSTITUTE MORE THAN THE EQUIVALENT OF 100 ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION With the bombing of the World Trade Center, it has been made clear that we must reinforce the above proposed regulation with this additional notation.
