3. Rights and restrictions is poor framing - Should be registration and licensing.
Three simple steps that most states require before you can put a car on the road and legally drive.

License - Include at least a cursory written exam and eye exam. I for one would feel safer if I knew most gun owners could read.
Register - Register that gun with a state and federal database. Should be a paper trail from manufacturer to seller to owner. Just like my 97 Accord.
Insure - Gun owners should be required to insure themselves against theft, misuse of their firearm, accidental death or injury
(someone else or themselves).

And whoever came up with the idea more guns would reduce violence was smoking some pretty strong stuff and should not be allowed to play with guns.

Blaine Rummel, a board member of Virginians for Public Safety, an anti-gun group, disputed the notion that arming more people would reduce violence. “Virginia is second in the nation in the ease of getting handguns,” Mr. Rummel said. “If easy availability was a solution, Virginia Tech wouldn’t be in mourning today.”
