Possible Solution to shootings:"National Law that requires special training to own any kind of gun."

[Stuart G]

...And all gun owners must sign a pledge that they will "NOT KILL ANYONE WITH THE GUN UNLESS IT IS IN ..................... ............."a case of. "Self Defense.".....................................................

This won't happen, and that is why it is in ....."Creative Speculation."................................but this law could
reduce gun deaths significantly. (maybe)

1. Laws requiring weekend musters of the arms bearing militia

Gun owners who fail to report will be disarmed as they are no longer committed to collective self-defense, the purpose of militia.
As American society exists now, the gun problem is proof that collective self-defense is less popular than personal self-defense and that is straight-up selfishness.

As I hear it, selfishness is very popular these days among some.

5. Yes!! "A well regulated militia"...

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State". I'm all for each gun owner being in a well regulated militia.

2. Simple rule:

Same restrictions as cars.
Must be of age, have had training, and passed testing to get a license.
Then, registration and insurance are required. Any major violation or enough minor violations and you can lose your right to own a gun for a period of time (similar to speeding tickets) or go to jail (similar to DUI).

The NRA will argue that guns are a right, not a privilege; sane people will argue that not being murdered is also a right and there is no burden to treating guns like cars.

are trying to get permitless carry laws passed.

"They don't care about consequences of their proposed laws."

6. That's the thing! Those in the military who are assigned these "weapons of war" undergo training

And it's not an overnight thing. Anyone who uses a gun should be required to undergo training. I learned to shoot at summer camp back in the day - and before any of us even picked up a gun we had to learn and understand several safety rules - and the one unwritten rule was to never shoot at anything living!

I was pretty good at it and was on the team at summer camp (all girls, it was a girls' camp) and joined the team at my school as the first and only girl. And back then everyone took it seriously, there were never any incidents. Though, needless to say, there is no longer a team at my camp or my school - nor at any of the schools we used to shoot against, including the military schools. And we used rifles, no one needs a "weapon of war" unless they are on active duty in a war zone.
