Lots of rhetoric here but short on real proposals acceptable to both the right and left.
Here's an idea - let's have mandatory liability insurance for ALL firearms sold in the US - any buyer of a firearm must simultaneously purchase personal and property liability coverage. Any subsequent property damage, injury or loss of life caused by that weapon will be an enforceable claim against the insurer and insured. Insurance companies will scream all the way to the bank, but won't beat the lawyers there. Now we're talking licensing, screening, training, higher costs to the weapon seller and owner, and stronger regulation.
Guns are like drugs - if you can't beat them, let folks have them but regulate the hell out of them.
