As background, I own rather a lot of guns. Only one designed after 1890. I bought one for each of my grand children for when they turn 18 if they are interested in such things. A neighbor's child comes here after school and the first thing I did was tell them that there were guns in the house and showed them the gun safe bolted to the wall, the ammunition stored in locked boxes and the keys to both stored in a remote part of the house.

Baning by description is pretty useless. Hell, paint it purple and it ain't an assault weapon anymore.

Guns don't Kill people, people kill people--with guns. Background checks on all people buying guns. Training for all people buying guns. Mandatory storage requirements for all people owning guns. Mandatory casualty insurance for all people owning guns (don't have it myself as nobody issues it currently).

Control who owns guns. Drunken wife beaters don't need to own guns.
