Soooo many problems with this piece... where to start. How about a complete falsehood: "Also, the United States has more gun violence than any other country." This is absolutely incorrect. There are many many many countries with more gun violence than the US, including most of Africa and South America.

As to your recommendations, forget about them. Without an amendment to the Constitution you couldn't get most of these past a judge - even a liberal one. But just for fun, let's look at some of the most egregious examples...

(2) Exactly what would the purpose be for putting gun ownership boxes on finance and medical forms? Maybe you could make a case for your doctor asking (but not a requirement to ask) about firearm ownership, but financial forms. Why on earth would a loan application need ask if you own guns? Talk about an invasion of privacy.

(3) You are talking about a gun registry... that isn't going to happen, and is in fact against the law for the government to establish one.

(6) $500 for a gun license... apparently the word "infringe" is not in your vocabulary. There is no question that this would be highly unconstitutional. While democrats scream about how much a burden it is to get a state issued ID just to vote, you think that it is ok to require gun owners to pay $500 for a license?

(7) A gun tax? Are you serious? You want to tax lawful gun owners for what, to offset costs of gun violence. You know who won't pay that tax... the people committing the gun violence.

(8) Yearly gun inspection? Are you serious? First off, the logistics alone makes this impossible. Also, what they purpose for the inspection be? To make sure that it works properly, that is after all why we have vehicle inspections. 400+ million guns in this country and if you think that the government is going to inspect even 1% of those a year then you've lost your mind.
