Summary: 1) A ban on all firearms (handguns, rifles and shotguns) or a ban on any of the above three types of firearms is impossible. 2) Any crime committed with illegal firearms should be considered a federal crime anywhere in the USA. This translates to much longer minimum sentences. This means less criminals with firearms on the streets, resulting in less crime with firearms in the USA. 3) There should be one federal license for handguns and longarms (rifles and shotguns) that replaces the numerous individual state pistol licenses and the few longarm licenses that now exist across the USA. 4) This new Federal H/L (handgun/ longarm) license will be linked to the person's driver license or non-driver ID, issued by their local DMV, which is linked to the nationwide DMV database. 5) Law enforcement nationwide will now have easy access to this nationwide database, and can quickly determine if a person's Federal H/L license from any state is valid, and the firearms owned by that person. 6) This new Federal H/L license should be recognized in all 50 states. 7) All 50 states should be be mandated by the federal government to report mental health information of individuals to NICS, the federal database, to ensure people that are barred from purchasing a firearm can't purchase a firearm
