6. It's a step

If it were up to me...

I'd repeal the 2nd as out of date (militias???) and confiscate all the guns and stop all manufacturing except for tightly controlled arms for the military... and I would only give the police stun guns..

We don't need to hunt with guns... bows and arrows would be fine. Let the quail and pheasants and ducks live.

That's not going to happen... so... ban the assault weapons... yeah, it will only drop our gun deaths by around a few hundred per year... but it helps.

OK that's not going to happen (yet).. so let's make mandatory biometric trigger locks (gets rid of the kids killing someone problem)... ok that's not going to happen... so

Keep weapons from people suspected of terrorism... and let them go to court to keep their right to buy guns... not ideal, but something. We already deny their right to freely travel by commercial aircraft.
