I'm about to walk out the door but I'll answer real quick.
1. I have no problem with the NICS (National Instant Check System) as a tool to keep weapons out of the hands of criminals to the extent that it's possible to do so. However, no records of the transactions should be kept.
2. I do not believe that there should be any type of waiting period. Waiting periods only serve to impair the ability of a law-abiding citizen to obtain a weapon that they may need to defend themselves.
3. I am adamantly against registration of any kind simply because confiscation is always preceded by registration. Just as importantly, I just don't think it's any of the government's business what types of firearms are owned by law-abiding citizens.
4. I think full-auto weapons should be legal for law-abiding citizens w/o any extra hoops to jump through on their part.
5. I think concealed carry should be legal for any law-abiding citizen.
As others have said, the only people affected by gun-control legislation are those who are actually going to follow the laws. The criminals certainly aren't going to follow them.
