That is rational, wouldn't affect any of you in any way, and would be supported by more than 80% of the population. It would calm the debate down and everyone could go on there merry way.
But because the NRA is beholden to the gun manufacturers and their members eat every turd they shit, they won't support any restrictions.
The end result is a lot more restrictions are going to be passed.
Conservatives didn't do shit with health care and Obamacare became the law of the land. Same thing is about to happen with guns. Its like republicans are incapable of learning.

I totally disagree.
What your proposals will do is create millions of new criminals, where there were none before.
"There's no way to rule innocent men.
The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals.
Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them.
One declares so many things to be a crime
that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws."
Ayn Rand
What proposal #1 does is turn me and millions of other Americans into criminals. Not only does that violate the 2nd Amendment, it is an ex post facto law. We aren't supposed to have those.
What # 2 does is turn other folks into criminals, or at least suspected criminals. My ex-wife's dad gave her a pistol for protection, before we started dating. Your law forces her to prove that that transaction took place before your law was passed. Guilty until proven innocent. Millions of Americans own private party sale guns. Your law makes every one of them PROVE that they bought their gun BEFORE this new law took place.
Do you own a toaster? Can you prove you bought it before a certain date?
