Bobert,

"I mean, there are a lot of very reasonable and sane adults who want to see the following laws enacted:

1. Ban military style assault rifles even though they are sold a semi-automatic..."

DEFINE "assault rifle" Since you do not accept the definition that the courts do. please define WHAT YOU MEAN- Black plastic stock and parkerized?

"2. Ban high capacity magazines (clips) that hold over 10 rounds.."

Since the killings in Conn were done with pistols ( the AR-15 was found IN THE CAR **AFTER** the shootings) I think making sure police never have more than 10 rounds might be good idea ( Glocks- 17 rounds)

.

"3. Close the gun-show loophole..."

OK, then the criminals will meet in the malls to exchange guns. FFL DEALERS have the same paperwork and registration requirements REGARDLESS of where they are selling.



"4. Require anyone who owns a pistol to register it and provide a "certificate of proficiency" to own it..."

How? If it is already impossible to keep FELONS from having guns illegally, how do you get them to register it? ONLY law abiding citizens are affected by this. You would, in effect, be arming the Klan and disarming the NAACP.

"5. Invest what is needed for background checks to work in a timely manner, which it currently doesn't do..."

THIS I AGREE WITH.

"6. Ban "open carry" of all handguns except for police... I don't want to go into a restaurant and have a dozen cowboy wnatabees come in with pistols strapped to their legs..."

Looking at the crime rate of places where open carry is legal, and the crime rate of placeswere carry is prohibited, I do not agree with you.



7. Create a 24 hour waiting period for the purchase of any gun...
