I've been thinking ...

... always dangerous!

Uncle has been thinking, too. How do we stop the TSA. Only 3 comments do far, and not many ideas on how to do it.

Allow me.

This will be a comprehensive approach, that will address quite a few issues that I think many of you can agree with.

Goal: To enhance air travel safety, while at the same time, allow more liberty regarding the 2nd Amendment.

1. Create a national carry permit. Currently, the FBI have one, and I can't see that they're that much more highly-trained than the average gun enthusiast. This permit should allow nation-wide concealed or open carry, and it should allow for concealed carry aboard domestic airline flights. It should not automatically allow carry while consuming alcohol, but should follow local or state laws. The permit can allow for some training requirements, but the training shouldn't require a trip to FLETC or Quantico (think NRA-sponsored). Cost - $500 for life.

2. Restructure NFA requirements. Change the per-transaction fee to an NFA permit. This permit, once issued, would allow the holder to own any NFA weapon, without paying a transfer fee. This permit should be shall-issue, with no reason for ownership needed. This permit should also not require a LEO sign-off. Cost - $1000 for life.

3. Concurrent with the above, the Hughes amendment should be repealed, as well as the importation restrictions on foreign weapons, as well as any reference to 'sporting purpose' in firearms regulations.

4. If you meet the training requirements for #1 while applying for #2, you will get the national carry permit with your NFA permit.

5. Holders of a national carry permit or NFA permit shall be exempt from 4473 requirements when purchasing non-NFA firearms.

That's just a start, but I think it'll do for now!
