OK, 2nd Amendment Repeal is a bit too Ambitious, But

there are some things that I think common ground can be found by all who are appalled by the terrorist carnage that our insufficient gun regulation allows.

Universal Background checks and gun registry for semi-automatic weapons that are not otherwise outlawed.  If you want to own a military style weapon, you have to be willing to be called up on quick notice with your weapon to defend the United States and the United States must be knowledgable about that willingness.  And no one under 21 would be allowed such a weapon and if they possess such a weapon, the parents are legally responsible for any and all legal ramifications of anything that transpires.

A effective mandatory process for getting the mentally ill and violent people with restraining orders against them into a database that supports the Background checks.

Make any mechanism that turns a gun into a more automatic weapon illegal.

People who are on terrorist watch lists should not have any rights to weapons.

People should not be allowed to purchase more that one gun a year.

There are 300 million guns in America and only 15% of the population owns all of them.  That is an average of 6.2 guns per gun owner.  How many more do they need to purchase in any one year?

I would also like to see no legal ownership of any gun more powerful and rapid than what any policeman carries.  A policeman should not be outgunned.
