No matter what giant list of measurements you can come with. The only real solution is banning all guns from public purchase and ownership. This is maybe very offensive to some Americans, but deep down you know that that is the only real solution. How can there even be a debate about background checks or small solutions after Sandy Hook is beyond me.

Gun ownership is still legal in the rest of the world, just waaaaaayyyy more regulated

In Luxembourg where I come from, you even need a weapon's license for ownership of a bow or an air pistol with the same background checks as for a rifle. It's even true for bladed weapons like fighting knifes or swords (collection swords, even those out of fantasy settings, need their edges to be dulled - and you still need a license for them, just a much less restrictive one). Weapon and ammo need to be stored separately (no loaded gun in storage) in a secured place (generally a gun vault). The license says what kind of weapons you're allowed to bear, which weapons you own, how many you're allowed to own.
