Solution to gun control debate

Personally, I think we need to borrow a play from the liberal playbook and just change the vocabulary.

The anti's say, and continue to say, that 90% of America supports a universal back ground check. They can even doctor up some generic polls right after Newtown's devastating shooting to prove it. This is where I think the NRA had a unique opportunity to shove it in their faces. The solution would have proably cost about $10k based on some other research I have done on other projects. That $10k would be the development of a smart phone application and web site (combination) which accesses a simple database. There would be a nominal cost to use the free application - probably $3 whole dollars all done digitally. Enter the persons name, address, and social security and the application or web site would check its database to see if the person exists. If it says "NO" the person does not exist they can legally own a gun - they are not on the list. At which point the person checked could offer to pony up $3.00 of his / her own and add their name to "another" list if desired - purely voluntary. If when doing the original $3.00 check and the answer is "NO" and the person comes up on the second voluntary list it just means they've already been checked out and already own a gun - so there is no wait for them - no mandatory waiting period.

Use of the smart phone / web site application would be voluntary. It would however facilitate the immediate sell of a firearm WITHOUT a dealer. If the person voluntarily adds themselves to the second list they don't have to wait either. Imagine what that would do for those of us in unconstitutional states like CA where the gun show is effectively dead because you can't buy anything there and take it home!

Now it would be "up to" our dear governments, federal, state, local, to make sure those who can't buy guns in America (felons, mentally ill, etc) are added to list A. List "A" would be checked agaisnt list "B" the voluntary one every day and if a person is found on list "B" as owning a gun but should not they'd be removed from list "B" and authorities notified. The NRA would promote its "app" and "web site" back ground check as the simple, easy and voluntary system it should be. I personally sell many guns, buy more, and hate the waiting period. I also don't want to sell a gun to a lunatic ready to go out and kill people or a felon wanting to rob or murder. I'd gladly pay $3 to add my name to a second list so I could not have to wait when I buy, but I know my brother would not want to be on any such list - he wouldn't. Its voluntary but he might have to wait if the local / state govt so mandates.

"BUT THIS IS A BACKGROUND CHECK" I hear the libertarian cry? Yes, but its voluntary, its simple, and its affordable. It eliminates archiac NCIS checks and a variety of other failures in big government to manage simple databases. Of course there MUST be procedures for adding people to the lists, and getting one's name off if wrongfully added. While important its also minutia. The anti's lose the battle here. They wanted back ground checks but what they really wanted was to make gun ownership MORE DIFFICULT and what this would do is actually make it EASIER for those of us in unconstitutional states anyway. It would head off unconstitutional acts by a federal government likely to impact free states as well.

Thats a good idea but it would not have stopped Sandy or Newton, that is what I point out to liberats everyday in my town (not a shot at you). The administration uses those two examples to push their agenda yet their proposed solution would not fix the REAL problems, they want us to think a lack of back round checks is the problem but that is not the case and criminals don't abide by the law as it is, the problems are Hollywood, prescription drugs and the family unit the liberals are so adamant about destroying. They want to push a bill that sounds like common sense to get the sheeple behind it but the real goal hidden within that bill is to implement a registration process and we all know what happens after that. Hollywood supports the liberals so they wont go after them, the media does the same and you cant watch ABC, CBS, NBC etc without some bull$hit commercial advertising the latest drug to fix some "disorder" you supposedly have which also brings along side effects worse than the "disorder". Don't think I even need to make examples of how the libtards are out to destroy the family unit. An armed society is a polite society, I agree completely and more guns are indeed the solution, we can't go out and cull the herd of irresponsible or crazy people but we can be prepared to immediately address them when they show their ugly mug.
