Ok, I'd like to first say that I know it's been a while since I've been on the forum and it feels damn good to be back in Wisconsin, and back on the board in general.
So anyways,I have been doing a lot ofpondering on how to curtail this nationwide problem we have with criminals having guns and so on and so forth, and It came to me that it isn't the guns,nor the magizine size or caliber of the guns,but it is a overall lack of education on not just the 2nd amendment, but the entire constitution & Bill of rights in general.
Now bear with me, this is what I impose as a way to do away with CCW permits,gun registration and the whole school zone crap law.
I say that yes we keep the background check,and hell maybe even keep the 48 hr hold law(that's a big maybe ). But in an effort to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, we inact a law that makes it mandatory to know the Constitution and Bill of rights for ANYONE purchasing a firearm for the first time. Once the test is passed, the tester will be given a card or document stating they have gone thru the proper chanels to obtain a firearm.
The test/conditions on this common senseproposed gun lawwill be as follows:
1)The Test can be taken as many times as it takes to pass.The testcan NEVER have any cost associated with it.The test will be designed togauge the knowledge of the US constitution, which means the ENTIRE constitution. And will also test your knowledge of the Bill of rights, not just the 2nd ammendment.
2)As stated above the test will only apply to people purchasing a gun for the first time( current firearm owners will be exempt)
3)The test MUST make people more "aware" of their rights because honestly,if you can't pass a test of knowledge based on simple knowledge of the consitution and bill of rights, you really shouldn't have a gun in the first place.(I mean hell, you have to know this stuff to enter the country legally and most legal imigrants no more about our constitution than we do!!!)
4)Upon passing said test, the citizen WILL be able to carry in any matter they see fit (IE. Open carry, CCW "sans" permit, no school zone restrictions...etc.)
5)The legal carrier will NOT be permited to carry while intoxicated, which should be backed up by a strict not a drop while carrying law (less you be charged with a Felony). After all people, we are dealing with a weapon here, enough said.
6)Anyone carrying a firearm without proof that they passed said test, can and will be subjectfelony conviction which will barthem from firearm ownership, this will help curb criminal guns on the streets already.
and 7) This test MUST be passed with no less than 90% accuracy(Strict I know, but passing with 90% or more WILL force people to be educated on the topic wether they like it or not)
Now I realizeguys that this is not 100% foolproof, nor is the wording set in stone. But I do know that with enough insight from all of us members,we can peice together this proposed law and in the end we will have a clean bill that just makes sense.
That said lets have a good clean fight on the subject and lets try to get this off the ground!
Thoughts? Insults? Post'em below guys. Thx.
