License and insure guns like cars.

We have aggressive drunk-driving laws because drunk drivers kill innocent people. You don’t want to be a victim of a drunk driver. Countless commercials with police “coming after drunk drivers”. 

In essence, you don’t want to be a victim of someone else’s decisions.

Change ‘drunk driver’ to ‘gun owner’ and the same narrative applies. Gun owners kill innocent people. You don’t want to be the victim of someone else’s decisions.

So where are the aggressive laws for gun owners?

The drunk driving laws decreased accidents, It was the common sense thing to do. The goal was to decrease fatalities and promote safety.

The same can be done with guns. You can’t get rid of all accidents and deaths, but you can do your best to decrease them.
