Ban any gun that can shoot faster than 1 bullet per second, and ban any auto-reload gun except revolvers.

BUT - the last word should come after a study

If we were to ban guns, we should identify the ones that kill the most in these kinds of situation, and ban them

-------------------

For that matter, we aren't going to ban ALL guns, so the discussion should be which guns SHOULD we have access to.
