Gun Control - Figured Out

Here's how you need to think about gun control (from someone who admittedly isn't interested in ever firing a gun let alone owning one):

Guns should be like cars. You need to register the car to put it on the road, same with the gun. It needs to be defined and registered, and tracked. Nobody can ever sell or purchase a gun that is not registered.

You have a right to have a gun, but you need to prove who you are to earn that right. You need a gun driver's license. In other words, both the owner and the gun need to be well registered and known. Both also must carry insurance or post a bond, just like with a car.

Existing guns do not need to be registered but cannot be transferred by any means or sold without registration (with criminal penalties for violations). Existing gun users DO have to register and provide proof of insurance. No exceptions. Severe penalties.

Here's the part the politicians will love: You tax the shit out of the process. That's right, if you want to own guns, you can, but you need to register them and yourself, AND you must pay substantial and regular taxes. These moneys can be used for enforcement and victim hospitalization.

The insurance industry should be happy to have so many new policies to write.

None of this infringes the right to bear arms (of the second amendment). But if you want to just repeal the second amendment, I'm fine with that. It really doesn't make sense as it is written.
