      <![CDATA[How about some common sense gun control regulations:<br>
<br>
1) No bullet with a diameter above 12 mm (47.25 caliber).<br>
2) No armor piercing bullets.<br>
3) Limit clip volume to 8 bullets.<br>
4) No fully automatic weapons.<br>
5) No collapsible or folding stocks.<br>
6) Muzzle energy limit of 4,000 joules.<br>
7) All sales require background check.<br>
8) Owner must complete state approved safety class of at least 8 hours, but no more than 40.<br>
<br>
The above should pass Supreme Court muster, as all common weapons fall within the above limits. The background check and safety class requirements do not seem to be overly burdensome.

      <![CDATA[Nice ideas, but the NRA has too much political capital and well over a percent of the country's population (and arguably, the loudest and most politically active one percent—at least when it comes to gun rights). Ignoring them would be, quite literally, political suicide.<br>
<br>
Your comment about handguns being "designed to shoot humans" is bunk, though.
