No. Reasonable regulation would do a lot to reduce gun violence. The main reason it is so easy for criminals to obtain firearms illegally is that there are too many firearms out there. If you want to keep a firearm at your house to protect yourself, fine. You can have a shotgun (this is the best weapon for home defense for a number of reasons) or a handgun with a max clip capacity of 15 rounds. No more collecting firearms. Find something else to do with yourself. Collect stamps. Go bird watching. I do not care who conscientious you are with your gun collection. Even the most responsible gun owners mess up and leave gun safes unlocked. If everyone just had a single weapon, the number of guns on the black market would dissipate very rapidly. And ban assault rifles.
Sounds very logical, but you know the gun nuts aren't going to go for this.
