In Oregon our rural area is full of maga crazies with guns especially close to Idaho. And I know there are areas like that in WA and CA also. Probably why it hasn't been tried before.

I would love to make gun laws better, I think the best way to start is make them just like cars, you have to pass test, have insurance, get license and have it taken away with any problems. And before you get license you have to show a lot of hours at gun range. There are a lot of people killed in homes from people buying guns and not knowing how to use properly. Also by law all guns have to be locked up at all times can't be sitting around house.

Get rid of any loopholes where guns are sold outside of stores.
