People get tied up far too much in the definition of assault rifle etc. You ought avoid that by simply defining an unacceptable rate of fire for a civilian firearm. Any firearm or modification to a firearm that exceeds said rate goes the way of the dodo.
You talk seriously about actual true universal background checks, if that means every private or gun show sale (or change of possession) has to go through a broker to do that check then so be it.
You talk seriously about safe storage and Legalizing what it means. You make actual gun courses real, effective and mandatory....same with licensing. I say this after witnessing an ass hat with a concealed carry permit yesterday have his gun and holster fall out of his waist band of his sweat pants multiple times yesterday at Walmart. Clearly this is a guy who has no business with a concealed carry permit. And I can tell you that there wasn’t one person in the store witnessing this that felt safer because there was a good guy with a gun.
These aren’t perfect solutions and I don’t pretend they are but people need to stop looking for the 100% solution on everything.
Above all to actually get to good solutions they need to allow gun violence research and follow the science.
