Here's my 2 cents:
1-any gun for private ownership should have to be reloaded after 6 shots.
2-a person should only be able to buy a limited amount of ammo at one time. Yes, they could stock pile it, but that would mean they'd have time to think if this plan is really a good one, and maybe reconsider. If you have to take out 9 boxes of ammo to go hunting, you might want to try lessons before hunting again.
3-any idea that legislating for slight (lightning strike) situations is ridiculous. Airplanes are legislated at every stage and upon every accident. 1 failed shoe bomb equals you have to take off your shoes for every flight (stolen from interweb, but it's true). Children killed while at school is WAY more common than bombs on airplanes and yet anyone who travels knows how many crazy steps we have to go through because of a lightning strike threat.
4-being sympathetic about one civil tragedy doesn't let you off the hook of the rest. The OKC bombing was a terrible thing. Lucky for you it didn't involve guns so you don't have to feel bad about anybody else being a victim of gun violence.
5-mental healthcare reform has to be an element of the change that needs to happen in our society. Reagan's biggest legacy is when he dismantled the mental health institutions because apparently people enjoyed living in nuthouses and took advantage.
6-teaching civility and conflict resolution has to be another thing changed in our society. Would it solve anything? No. Would it help? I believe it would.
