I think if your going to enhance gun control then you certainly have to stiffen the sentences for crimes which commission the use of fire arms both legal and illegal.
Anything else is toothless.
Plus if you decided to ban guns in the states, and miraculously got it passed, it would open a huge and uncontrolled underground gun market.

Let's face it - gun control isn't going to reduce firearm related crime. If a crook wants a gun - he'll get one and it won't be registered to him when he shoots a clerk in a liquor store.
Gun control is about making it difficult for the average Joe to buy, register and own a gun. If process to do this is long, complicated and expensive and forces people to think it's not worth getting a gun after all - it's a good start and I'm ok with it.
