How background checks for guns should work.

[Grins]

1. Like the British do.

First you don’t go to a gun shop and buy a gun.
You go to the police and apply for the right to own one.

The application authorizes a background check that is as tough as a Top-Secret clearance background check. And there is no timeframe. It takes as long as it takes.

ONE reference from a neighbor, Doctor, minister, co-worker, neighbor, spouse, children, who says “That guy? No.” And that’s it. No permit and no gun.

(And by “gun,” I mean single action hunting/target RIFLES or shotguns. NO HANDGUNS.)

Only the best-of-the-best citizens get to own guns.

Get the permit and later screw-up? Guns are TAKEN from you.
