Explain what gun laws I want in place.
Whatever you want. It doesn't matter. Mentally apply your perfect gun legislation, and then after that's enacted, someone shoots 30 1st graders.
But you seem like you're going to be an unwilling participant, so I'll skip the q&a, and get to the point.

The goal, I would think, and it's a reasonable one, is for people to not be getting killed with guns.
As long as there are guns, people are going to be killing people with guns.
So, let's get rid of the guns.

I don't even begrudge the position. It's just common sense. Maybe impractical in terms of implementation, but is that not what you want? Do you want no people being murdered with guns? Or do you want 15% less people being murdered with guns?
It's one of the more hilarious parts of the 'pro-safety' movement. It's convinced it's own supporters that they don't want what they should very obviously want.
Gun control legislation is compromise. But it still results in people being murdered with guns, which is what you don't want. So why would you stop trying to strengthen it?
