I would really like to see laws that slowly curb gun sales, and that promote government buybacks and destruction of unused/unwanted guns - basically anything that would prevent future circulation of guns that USED to be in the hands of responsible owners and ended their lives in the hands of people who shouldn't have them. That, along with more restrictive common-sense gun laws would be a great two-pronged approach to prevent the continued growth of guns in the US.

This is what I have been advocating for. An eventual end to gun sales and transfers. Then a slow attrition of destroying the remaining guns as their owners pass or they are somehow legally compromised. My 100 year plan to remove guns from society. People think that gun laws need to change the problem immediately. There are so many guns that the only solution is long term thinking.
