I also don’t think we should have a van on weapons just certain ones like assault weapons. You reference theban did not work I would love to see data if you have it share on that.
In terms of sentencing I would definitely be in favor of a 5 year prison sentence for possession of an illegal firearm. Mandatory? For most situations. I don’t think an adult with Down’s syndrome for example or a 13 year old should be held to those standards but an adult in the median of the bell curve no problem

Cool...yeah certainly some situations like that who wouldn't want to prosecute.
I also think there is an opportunity with technology in the development of "smart gun" where gun owners can only operate their own gun. Responsible gun ownership has always been a problem...too many stories of children accidently shooting themselves with owners who negligently leave guns out or guns being easily stolen only to be used in other crimes.
