Too many guns in this country- Not going to get them all, even close to half of them....

You have to make the penalties severe for the owners. Every gun owner should also have to carry insurance. You kill somebody or injure somebody with your weapon, insurance goes up and has to pay out. You want to open carry, better fucking have insurance.

Oh, and shit like, gun going off in a restaurant, insurance will pay out because of trauma you caused to my young child.

That's how you start fixing things-
