I thought of a brilliant plan...
instead of banning guns or making "laws" that will piss of gun owners, what about policing current policies?
meaning... currently as a gun owner you are registered in "the system" and police know when they pull you over if you own a gun or not. however, when you commit a crime, you don't need to give your guns up... but if you commit a crime (depending on the crime and state), then you can't buy a new one.
therefore, if rights were policed based upon your actions there could be more control. as well, having a gun without a permit should yield hefty fines and prison time. raise the fines, then you can pay people to police the problem. if you cant pay the fine, you go to jail.
as well for ammo, you can ONLY buy ammo with a permit (your gun permit i mean). this is how a good number of gun related problems start, I know this because when I was in 7th grade, some kid brought a gun into school and admitted that his friends brother bought him the ammo.
In order to buy ammo, you MUST own a gun and you can only buy ammo for that type of gun you own. want to give bullets as a gift? then you can buy a gift card to the store.
on a bit more "touchy" subject, if you have children in your house or anyone with mental illness, it is your duty to project your firearms. otherwise if you don't YOU go to jail. Imagine how many parents would buy safes and hide the shit out of their guns if they knew that if their kid took their gun to school, they would sit in jail.
Threats are what keep people in line
