3. The background check
Wed May 25, 2022, 10:46 AM

should be extremely detailed and involved. The check should reveal every time someone skipped school, or littered or got a speeding ticket, etc. The person should be forced to go through an intense psychological examination. It should take at least a month to complete. The person applying to purchase a gun should feel extremely violated.

If you want to own a piece of machinery whose only purpose is to kill, you need to go through some things first.

PS: you should also need to carry very expensive insurance on that gun, and your ability to own that gun should be reevaluated every 6 months.

Also, anyone found trying to circumvent these background checks will be sentenced to 5 years in prison.
