The sale of all automated weapons needs to be put on a national and statewide moratorium until 1) A proper set of rules for sale and use including the prohibition of sale to minors and those with mental issues nation and statewide. 2) A thorough vetting system be made available and mandatory for all points of sale, including a thorough system of documenting all incidents in the workplace, home and school involving potential and actual violence- and that rules prohibiting access to any weapons from all parents and associates of any who are on such a list who may have a license to carry. Any person who is shown to have mental stability issues should be on this list of those prohibited from ownership of any weapon.
Why is this important?
There have been repeated incidents of shootings involving automated weapons. In some states like Florida, it is not only legal to buy and possess these weapons--but that also includes minors. It is time for both State and Federal Governments to put an immediate halt to all sales of automated weapons until a thorough and complete set of rules and regulations is established. These rules should include the banning of sale and ownership of any automated weapon - unless in connection with an appropriate security position or in the armed forces. The sale and ownership in any case of a minor should be prohibited. There should be a thorough system of vetting made mandatory for all points of gun sales. Any incidents of violence - or potential threat to violence - should be reported so that if found to be true, those who are considered either mentally unbalanced or a potential threat should be prohibited from the ownership of any gun - and those who are in contact with such individuals either at home or professionally and are licensed to carry any weapons should not be allowed to have any such weapons available in any form of access.
