I think stronger penalties are in order for people whose firearms and ammo are left unsecured and then are used in an incident.
But banning firearms is a non-starter and isn't going to happen. It is a waste of time to even discuss that. We need to talk about how firearm usage is regulated.
Perhaps a qualification course requirement in order to pass the federal background check. I think the issue is basically due to uneducated gun owners.
Make strong penalties for allowing unauthorized use, require a short course that outlines the penalties before purchase. That might have a positive effect without violating the right of the citizenry to be armed.
Should parents be charged when a child uses their gun?

"Police protection" is an oxymoron. Gun laws are like masturbation, they both feel really good, but after you're done you realize you haven't accomplished anything."

Not sure where you get that from. Guns are super fun to shoot.

I'll definitely give the study a read when I have time. I doubt it's as definitive as you're painting it though.
