2. The only possible objection I have is to make the DoD use smart technology on weapons

If you are in combat and your weapon is damaged beyond use, you must be able to pick up one not being used by the injured or dead. Particularly crew served weapons, as the operators of those systems are among the most targeted on the battlefield. Those weapons must be able to be used by anyone.

Beyond that, not too bad overall. Although I cannot see how one person who sells two weapons can be classified as a dealer.
