What do you mean by tougher background checks? Are the background checks now insufficient ? Please explain the current background check process and details as well as well as how they could be improved.
Mandatory Training ? What do you mean by that ? firearms training like in the military ? Mandatory training to teach someone how to kill people?
You can not buy a firearm online and have it sent to your door in any state nor do I know of any legitimate firearms dealer do that from what I understand with an exception to specific guns that are on the C&R list (Guns and to C&R License holders.
Some examples of C&R firearms are most manually-operated and semi-automatic firearms used by a military force prior to 1946. This includes most firearms
(other than automatic weapons) used by the warring nations in World Wars I and II.
All fully automatic weapons require very strict to get Federal Licenses which require a Police Chief to fill out a form and return to the ATF and already banned completely in some states like mine. Even if you could get a license , you are talking about guns that cost in the range starting $10,000+ USD. The price and Permit process alone is a deterent for 95% of people from owning them legaly.

What do you want reported ?? Do you want all firearms owners pictures and and information to be published publicly like a sex offenders list or like how that one newspaper on the east coast did that published the names and addresses of every gun owner on their website by obtaining the info via FOIA? Thus treating every owner of a firearm as if they were a criminal??
As I Understand it, you can not purchase a firearm
legally, at least in my state (CA) if you have been convicted of a felony. The already
MANDATORY background check in California already checks for criminal history.

Define the term "Assault weapon". Any weapon used for the purpose of assaulting another person ?? I want to know what you want to ban completely and specifically that isn't banned already.
How many rounds of ammunition define "High Capacity" ?? Here in California
all firearm magazines are limited to 10 bullets.
I am not a very political person I am not a criminal I have a family. I also have guns. I have guns because I enjoy having them. I don't hunt with them I just shoot at paper targets. I don't "need" a gun to protect my family but the 2nd amendment gives me the right to have one for that purpose should I choose.
I am a
responsible gun owner. Safety is always the priority, my kids aren't allowed to handle , touch, my guns and never even seen them. They are locked up in the safe, unloaded and out of their reach.
Please answer my questions if you can. I am all for anything that will
guarentee the the safety of my family and things like the recent shooting from happening again. Even if I have to give up my rights and my guns. I just need to understand how your proposals that are not already by law will stop a tragedy like ct from happening EVER again.
Thank you
