You will take (at least legal) firearms out of the hands of 80% of the people who are associated with mass shootings.

Make ALL firearms transactions go through an FFL with a cap on fees, and you eliminate unregulated person to person sales. Everyone has to go through NICS.

Give every state 12 months to get it's reporting to NICS up to speed or face significant sanctions. We need a comprehensive database and reporting system so people with violent histories do not fall through the cracks and get access to guns legally.

Increase sentences for people caught with illegal firearms. Right now you get less time in California for carrying a gun illegally than for carrying a switchblade or butterfly knife.
