Where do you personally stand on what guns, if any, to ban or allow? [View all]

I'm posting this because I'm curious. Not really looking to attack anybody's ideas or even debate the merits of them (although I know that's probably going to happen anyway). I'm just curious as to what, if you ran the country and had absolute power, laws you would pass regarding guns. Forget about political climate, election consequences, the realistic possibility of getting a particular thing passed or not. You have absolute power. What would you do and what do you think is fair? I'll start:

Ban all semi-automatic rifles. The preferred weapon of choice for mass shooters. No reason to have them in society in my opinion. Get rid of them, you would see a dramatic decline in mass shootings.

Ban all handguns. While semi-automatic rifles are the preferred weapon for mass shooters, the overwhelming majority of gun homicides are done with handguns. Get rid of them, you would see a dramatic decline in gun deaths overall.

Shotguns, lever-action rifles, bolt-action rifles, single shot rifles, are all okay and would still be legal. That gives you plenty of room to work with for hunting, home defense, and sport shooting. Mandatory background checks and licensing required. 15 day waiting period also required.

Anyways, that's my list. What's yours?
