My bad, when I think of 22 here, I think of a bolt action. Mags don't need to be high cap. Keep it at 10 for everybody. Need bigger? Prove it and you can have it.
You're the one trying to restrict my liberties; you need to give me a valid reason not to have a high capacity magazine. I do not need to prove anything.
And you determine their eligibility by the requirement for the firearm. Rifle for hunting, semi for shooting targets at a range or whatever, pistol for home defence. Register it, store it safely and you'll be left alone to do what you want with it. If you gun turns up in a crime or reported missing, prove it was stored safely at the time and get yourself a new one, can't prove it was stored safely and your eligibility goes down a rung. Super simple stuff, and you get to keep your guns. Sorta like straya.
My requirement is that I desire a firearm. My Constitution says I have the right to own one. It does not say which weapon I can own, it just says I can bear arms. The Constitution doesn't say I can't have a colonial era cannon. Once again you need to tell me why it should be hard for me to obtain the weapon of my choosing. Why are you regulating 99% of the population
just in case 1% does something violent?
I agree that obtaining a gun, even with regulation, is not hard. I don't necessarily mind regulation that much. I don't like having restrictions for lousy reasons as you can see.
And above your tomb, the stars will belong to us.
