Plenty of Scandinavian countries have high gun ownership, but low gun crime. This suggests to me that some balance can be made where guns aren't banned outright, but gun crime is reduced.
So, what solutions would people suggest that don't explicitly violate the 2nd amendment?
Maybe nobody buys a gun without a license, one which should be more or less analogous to the driver's test, except maybe with the addition of a brief psych exam? At least it should weed out gun nuts who don't give a shit about gun safety. That alone would probably cut down on accidental gun deaths.
