And this prevents a criminal from illegally buying or stealing a gun?They will not be issued equipment? Any equipment issued will be taken back if the condition of mental stability isn't met.
Such weapons belong in 'well regulated militias', not on the streets of America. Law abiding citizens can still hold as many sporting weapons as they please.

Okay, Rambo. Let's imagine your rebellion. The 4th armored division is about to sack your house. Is your AK 47 doing you any good?

There should be no infringement on 2nd amendment rights. Fully automatic assault rifles and submachine guns
must be made available to all citizens to prevent tyrannical governments and to defend against foreign and domestics groups bent on destroying the American government. There must not be any outright bans.
We must be aware terrorist are already armed with fully automatic AK47 assault rifles.
Americans must also be equally armed to deal with that situation.
I'm not disagreeing with the voluntary nature of the idea or that it is a bad Idea in general, I'm just pointing out that this capacity more or less already exists.If I'm at a garage sale I am not going to take the time to go to a gun store. Furthermore at the gun store there is a fee to do the background check. That is ridiculous. If you want to keep guns out of the hands of criminals you need access to the data base 24/7 and not when the gun stores happen to be open. Furthermore, adding a charge to the check reduces the number of people who will avail themselves of the service. A service that the People of the US have paid for many times over BTW.Anyone who really wants to do this can do it now, at a gun store.I would love to see a national check system that did a background check on anyone who you wanted to do a check on. No gun registration at all, just a background check that everyone could access for no cost. You're having a garage sale and you're selling a gun, someone wants to buy it, you call the phone number, they do the background check. Done.
And gun crime there is exceptionally high, indicating that bans, actual and virtual, do not prevent criminals from getting guns.Mexico is far poorer than the US so your "model" fails in every respect.Banning these weapons will make them prohibitively expensive and therefore out of reach for street thugs and maniacs bent on killing the innocent.Ban all weapons with semi or fully automatic firing systems.

I have no real issue with a voluntary system; of course.But it really doesn't. People hate paying taxes for anything and the background check fee is basically that. Further, as we both know, criminals DON'T buy guns at gun stores! They buy them from garage sales or flea markets etc. These are thelocations where we need to have an ability to do an immediate background check on the person buying the gun.I'm not disagreeing with the voluntary nature of the idea or that it is a bad Idea in general, I'm just pointing out that this capacity more or less already exists.If I'm at a garage sale I am not going to take the time to go to a gun store.

Its also an irrelevant point, as The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the homeBy definition I am a member of a well regulated militia.

Yes, it will. You seem to ignore the Rumanian experience where the revolution was begun with .22 long rifle target pistols. Had they had access to better weapons the death toll for the revolutionaries would have been much less.
