I think what needs to be done is to essentially scrap the existing firearms regulations and start again. The current legislation is a hodge-podge of various acts pushed by various people and bodies. The discrepancy you mentioned is just one example of that. Stuff I would support would be a ban on full-auto weapons, a mandatory test on basic firearms safety (which would give you a card which you have to show to buy a gun), closing the gun show loophole, age limits for unsupervised use, a ban on taking your gun into a bar (even in the Old West, they knew that was a bad idea), a federal gun trafficking statute and buy-back program and a few other small measures. That's what I mean by "sensible".
