Number Six places too much trust in government to keep its word.
Number Seven is unnecessarily restrictive; I would make the handgun limit 20 to account for extremely common 9mm handguns like the Glock 17. In fact, I believe that magazine limits do nothing; magazine capacity is essentially self-limiting by the viability of the technology. Huge magazines -- 100-round AR magazines, "snail drums" for Glocks, etc. -- are unwieldy and unreliable novelties anyway. But I'm willing to compromise on a piece of security theater that some people seem to think is important.
Castle Doctrine is not sufficient; it only protects the individual in his/her home. SYG is misunderstood. In fact, it removes the necessity for victims to expose themselves to further danger before resisting with lethal force. Flight is not always the safer option.
