You could close down every gun/ammo shop tomorrow and there would still be more guns than people and more ammo than sperm in the USA.
By all means, police the acquisition process better, but you still must rezone and fortify schools, residential and urban areas to make freedom of movement and safety realities in the US.
My suggested rezoning:
1) Schools/Universities: Enclosed areas with very few guarded, screening entrances & exits . All halls and school grounds are monitored at all times.
2) Surrounding urban/suburban areas: Essentially buffer zones with no conceal/carry. Patrolled by police. Residents can keep guns locked in homes for protection, but cannot discharge in urban areas otherwise.
3) Dense, urban areas. No guns allowed. Detectors, cops, and cameras everywhere.
4) Rural/towns: Conceal & carry as desired. Take your life into your own hands. You're in Republican country now
Zoning legislation could be enacted at state and municipal levels while the feds can worry about controlling the supply. Police presence will need to be increased in certain areas like schools and universities (no kidding). It's the only conceivable solution I can see in a country polarized by gun lobbyists and gun control advocates.
I welcome any additional suggestions that could improve the situation without compromising liberty or safety.
