8. Must maintain a certain number of legitimate shoots a year
9. No explosives
10. Semi-auto weapons restricted with higher levels of security checks etc

I've got fairly strict ideas on gun control because thats how things work here, and it works really well.
I agree with most of this, except number 7. I would replace number 8 with the requirement for a specified minimum hours of training or proven experience such as military service and an annual requirement for proficiency. But what are the 100 points to check?
