And yet I havent seen any of you offer any solutions.
"Oh yes, we need mandatory background checks". We have those. We need to close gun loopholes that allow for sales of any kind of weapon with a background check.
Who simply says we need a background check? More stringent background checks, absolutely.
I support the only sales not requiring checks be the ones between relatives, and ones to licensed dealers.

"Oh yes, we need mental health updates". Again, nothing new.
Do we have mental health statuses linked to background checks? If not, then, regardless of whether it's new or not, it's still a proposed (and necessary, IMO) solution.

What else?
Why does there have to be more? Why not try the ones that have been proposed? If those don't work, or don't work well enough, go to the next round of solutions.
Hell, I'm even okay with mandatory proof of safety class attendance and passing before even being allowed to have a permit for a gun. You could even have different classes for different classes of firearm. My only worry with something like that would be the costs of the classes, the permits, etc.
Ratchet up the fines/sentences for gun crimes.
Require proof of insurance for firearm permits, or maybe only certain classes of firearm.
The classes, and secure storage and insurance requirements would qualify as making it tougher on those least likely to abuse their firearms, but as long as the costs stay reasonable, I think it would be acceptable.
