Honestly, I'm in favor of the Second Amendment, but there should be restrictions. Tighter background checks, including mental and criminal history checks on anyone who wants any gun, and no military-grade hardware for sale obviously. I'm fine with someone owning a fully automatic weapon. If you look at statistics of gun violence over the years, it's gone down in the US. Yes, the school shootings and other mass shootings are tragedies but they are a tiny percentage, less than 1%, of all gun deaths.

I agree with all your points except the mental history check. Not because I think it in of itself would be bad, but because that then gives the Government more leeway to look into your medical history. Also allows for future discrimination of certain rights to people because of certain issues.
