I don’t know what kind of gun(s) the shooter used in the killing spree from yesterday, but here’s my common sense gun control ideas.

Guns have a legitimate purpose for hunting and maybe animal control.
Handguns are out.  These are not for hunting.
Shotguns - limited to a single or double barrel with single or 2 shots.  No more pump action.
Rifles - Single shot rifles only.  No more clips. 

This will have the effect of limiting the amount of damage a shooter can do, while still preserving hunting in the country.

I am a firearms owner.  Pump action shotgun for ducks and bear defence, a .410 for birds, a Sako .223 for deer.

I agree, the types of guns appropriate to hunting especially if you live in, or like to go to the country at appropriate times to maybe get something to stock up the freezer for the winter etc. are OK by me. Having had military training on various weapons during my day I would say if you need an AR-15 to knock down a deer then you shouldn't be allowed any type of gun. There's a reason they call it an "Attack" rifle. Our southern neighbors flog this second amendment nonsense to a fare thee well. Look at the idiots currently stomping around with loaded guns bitching about of all things government attempts to keep them safe from this Covid thing. Sounds like a dangerous mix to me.
