what gun control would you recommend that wouldn't violate Americans core rights and values and that would be effective?

I have no idea what kind of control wouldn't violate their "core right". However, I do know that the current approach is not working. When the US guns violence per capita is in line with 3rd world countries, you might say there is a problem.
I suspect that it will take a fundimental shift in their "core values". Is this possible, I have no idea, it will take years, maybe generations, but I hope it happens. Sadly, I am not confident it will.

Keep in mind no one has any idea where the supposed 300 million firearms actually are.

So wait what?? There are 300 million (you number) firearms and no one knows where they are.......Don't you think that is a problem? Don't you think that someone (other than the owners) should know where they are?

No, Americans exercising their second amendment right is why there are 300 + million firearms in the US.
The NRA and other pro 2nd amd groups don't buy firearms for anyone.

Thanks tips. I am aware the NRA is not giving out firearms, although if they could figure out a way to do that I am sure they would. What the NRA, et al., is doing is yelling and screaming about gun ownership and how any discussion on gun control is un-American (my term).
It appears, and I might be wrong that you are inagreement with the US approach to gun control. If such is the case, we could talk/post ofr 100 years and I will never change your mind. Stats regarding the number of deaths related to guns in the US will do nothing.
Thankfully I live in Canada, but I have friends and family that lives in the states and that drives me crazy.
