there should be an immediate ban on all private sales. all sales MUST involve a thorough background check. all physicians who have a patient that they feel is a danger to society MUST immediately report them. all felons, all that have restraining orders and the like against them, should be kept in databases. those databases must be accessible by registered dealers. also, if someone bought a gun, and then subsequently is arrested and convicted, or has a restraining order placed on them, they should be flagged for confiscation of firearms. married to a felon, no guns. parent of a felon that lives with you, lose your guns. child of a felon that lives with you, no guns.
if you own guns and wish to sell them, they must be consigned thru a licensed broker. wish to hand them down thru a will, the inheritor must be cleared for ownership.
anyone who attempts to illegally purchase a firearm that is flagged should be arrested for attempting to illegally purchase a firearm. they know if they have a felony on their record that they can't own them.
gun shows-no background checks, no sales.
auctions that have guns-no check, no sale.

none of the above changes the ability of a law-abiding citizen from owning a gun, or several guns.

The restraining order in concept is good but is dicey. What evidence must you provide in order to put a restraining order on someone? Seems wide open for ****ing with someone if you know they have guns to put a restraining order on them for no reason.
