I have been thinking that maybe we could do more with gun taxation than gun regulation.
Like pistols would be taxed at 10% of value, hunting rifles at 30% and semi-automatics regardless of if it's a pistol or rifle be taxed at 90% of value, and this tax should be paid yearly, with the money going to fund insurance for gun violence victims.
There is precedent with cigarette taxes.
Collectors get a discount or exemption if the rifle barrel is filled with lead.
Yes, I know it wouldn't fly.

"This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic, have fallen with a dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in The Force. Do not return to the Temple... that time has past. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships. But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always."
