Better background checks, ban on assault weapons, banning people on terrorist watch or no-fly lists, removing the relaxed laws around gun shows. You can still have guns, just not as deadly and only if you're a proper person to own one.

States like Illinois (#10) and New York #(2) have some of the most strict gun laws out there. Yet they have the highest murder/crime rates. Not sure the laws are the only issue. If you look at most acts of violence with a gun, most are people that are not allowed to legally have a gun in the first place.
So my point is, gun laws mostly hurt legal abiding people and a criminal is going to find an illegal gun or if not use a gun, a car, a knife or a hammer. Bad people flat out are going to be bad.
They need to figure out how to keep bad people from doing bad things. If a person thinks by getting rid of ALL guns would stop acts of violence, look at France. We have a bigger issue.
