Require ALL assault weapons and large capacity magazines to be registered; levy an annual fee - 100% of cost of weapon - no exceptions - imprisonment for failure to register - and charge 200% cost of weapon as excise tax for ALL sales. Include buy-back program and provision to donate weapon to well regulated shooting ranges that would safeguard the weapons.
Why is this important?
Banning only new sales of assault weapons and large capacity magazines is meaningless. REGULATE ALL of them, Require registration of all, even those people currently own, assess owner's fitness, require payment of a fee, enforce registration law, and tax ALL sales at 200% of sale price. Provide buy back incentives and allow for donation to well-regulated shooting ranges that will secure the weapons.
