Should semiautomatic weapons be banned?

No, and neither should all fully automatic weapons.

No, and neither should all fully automatic weapons.

FTR, I meant some fully automatic guns should be banned.



That being said, I absolutely support:
- A more strict mental health test
- An universal background check for violent crimes and police visits involving said person or the residence of said person
- A ban on most fully automatic guns
- More strict enforcement of federal bans on guns
- Eliminating the gun show loophole
- A minimum of 16-21 years of age to purchase a gun(let states pick an age in there)
- Therapy for potentially mentally troubled students at school
- 72-hour waiting period
- The right to own some weapons as property
- A legal precedent limit of "overly dangerous as a potential weapon", with the limit allowing certain assault rifles and automatic guns(such as the aged AK-47) and banning others

It's weird to me, that people who generally seem to be know what they are talking about and are for gun control (there are a couple of them, calm down), still bring up the "gun show loophole" and never bring up straw purchases.  One of these avenues brings lots of guns to bad guys, one of these avenues does not.

I believe gun shows should keep registration and have notaries present to notarize the sales of guns, as well as a 72-hour waiting period to ensure that the buyer is legally allowed to buy weapons, in the same way that stores should do the same. I’m all ears for proposals to end straw purchases, however.
