One impossibility of the concept of real gun control in this country, is that there are already way more guns than people here. We have functional rifles from the Civil War, and cheap plastic handguns made yesterday.
Even if a local jurisdiction passes their own control situations, I can just buy bulk firearms in the parking lot of a gun show, and drive them into their state.
I know we are really talking about hunting accidents here, but we did veer off a little.
I believe the answer is true training requirements with occasional updates for hunters. I like the license for buyers, not the guns themselves idea, but doubt it would pass current constitutional muster. I'm such a conflicted libertarian, that I think anyone should have a gun, or heroin, or whatever they want. but also am tired of the toll these kinds of things take on us.
My dad or someone like him could whip up a functional firearm in his work shed in no time, expense or trouble.
Rambling again, sorry
