Universal background checks for one. Mandated security provisions (gun safes, etc...), for another. Completely revamping our approach to the stupid War on Drugs (given that a majority of US homicides every year are drug-related...). Etc.

I have mixed feelings about a near-total ban on firearms (I'm a 110lb female...a world in which pure brute strength rules is unappealing to me), but even if I were an unequivocal supporter of the idea I don't think simply legislating it would make it so. Passing a law which literally tens of millions of people would disobey strikes me as a very bad idea.
