I dunno about a solution, exactly, but the idea of treating guns like cars does appeal--that is, you need to pass a licensing exam and then keep the license with the gun all the time. Registering individual guns so that the owner's/operator's license covers all the guns they own might help. Perhaps there could be a year long grace period for people who already own guns where they could get licensed and tested and their guns registered for free, especially since there's probably more than a few people out there who inherited their dad's hunting rifle that they use to put food on the table, or whatever, and would balk at paying a license fee because they're dirt poor. And ffs, figure out some way to track ammo. Someone might concievably collect guns they never intend to fire, or only shoot recreationally, but if they've got a huge stockpile of ammunition, then I'd get worried. I've heard proposals for gun insurance that works like car insurance, but I think they're a little disingenuous, because car insurance covers damage to the car, damage to other cars, and car-inflicted injury and death. If a car is used to injure or kill someone, it's a horrible accident. If a gun is used to injure or kill someone, it's doing what it's supposed to. It'd be like insuring an oven in case your food came out cooked.

I personally hate guns and wish a blanket ban was feasible, but I really, really hate the idea that calling for more regulation of gun ownership=the government is coming for our guns, oh the horror~
