Responsibility
I don't believe the problem is the tool itself, but that most people do not take the responsibility for their firearms. If people are not held financially responsible from the minute it leaves the manufactures until the firearm is destroyed, we're going to have a problem with gun death counts in our country. You leave your gun in your car and it is stolen, you should be held responsible for whatever happens. A dealer sells a firearm to a person wearing a tin foil hat and a parachute they will be responsible. A child takes a gun to school the parent will be held responsible.
Firearms should be treated more like cars. First you class different firearms as you do cars, trucks and motorcycles. Second to buy that class of firearm you get a permit train on the type of firearm you want, while that is being done there will be a full background check. Once you pass the test you can buy that type of firearm and ammunition for that firearm anywhere in the country.
People today own firearms they done know how to use and firearms that don't fit the task they were purchased for.
I know a lot of people don't want the government to know what type of firearms they own, but as far as I know there is nothing in the constitution that states the government does not have that right.
