57. No, that's too extreme and simple minded...

I live in the mid west where hunting still goes on, and is in fact needed.
Because humans have destroyed so many natural predators, the deer hunts are needed to keep the populations under control for both OUR and THEIR sakes.

IMHO we need to go back to the old brady bills. They worked to an extent.
The assault weapons' ban, which included a limit on magazine size.
those all worked very well when enforced.

.38 specials have always been illegal, and i've never understood the NEED for anything military to be fully operational.
I fired a SCAR-L at the local gun shop. It was fun, nice, accurate, etc, and limited to one bullet per pull.
The magazine was 20 rounds. But what more do I need to hunt Deer or wolves with (yes there's a fucking wolf hunt now that the population has BARELY crosses the non-endangered threshold).

I think that we go back to the original laws. We close the gunshow / craigs list loop holes and go from there.
It also doesn't hurt to put a bunch of money into mental health care and work to stop making it sound like such a fucking weakness to NEED to talk to someone.

No, a complete ban won't work for many reasons. But reasonable bans will.
