Just some rambling thoughts:
This issue is not an easy fix. I believe in gun control and think we have a lot of controls already that perhaps are not being enforced. And true there are adjustments needed to tighten up on who should be allowed to own a gun. And try there should be a penalty for those found to be in possession of an illegal gun.
I own a gun. Not an arsenal. I own a gun to protect my home from invasion. I do not carry it although I can. If I did not feel it necessary to own a gun I would not.
Unfortunately police do not prevent crime. They are no longer allowed to. They can only respond to crime, I.e. after the horse has left the stable. I do not want someone to solve the murder of my family. I need a way to prevent the murder of my family
Logical Gun control is a partial solution to the problem but it needs to reflect WHY folks like me even own a gun.
