A couple of simple questions regarding the word "banners" and RKBA

4. No to question 1, yes to questions 2 and 3.

I wouldn't do a total ban. But I would be in favour of repeal or serious update the second amendment in view of the incredible change in destructive power and rate of fire of firearms and population growth in the country since the original was written.

I'd do away with the court interpretation that the second allows firearm ownership for 'self-defense', as opposed to national defense as part of a 'well-organized' militia, as well as make sure 'fear' was not a legal defense against manslaughter or murder charges, doing away entirely with 'stand your ground' laws. Allow hunting rifle and target shooting ownership, but require such guns to be stored in secure armories in community police stations when not checked out for use. Any 'historical' collections would have to be rendered completely inoperable, with the barrels filled with molten metal.

And, btw, this would apply to police as well. Officers would not carry firearms unless they were specifically sent to deal with a criminal KNOWN to be armed with a firearm. Using a gun in the commission of a crime would carry a mandatory minimum extra 20 years on top of any other criminal punishment, with no parole possible for that period.

Exemptions for shotguns and hunting rifles in rural areas with low population densities that allow them to store their own weapons if they own secure gun safes.

And mandatory liability insurance, licensing and safety recertifications every few years, just like on drivers.
