Banning all semiautos wouldn't bother me a bit.
Requiring extensive training in order to get and keep a gun would probably be a good idea. Right now its up to the individual to determine how much training they get. The required training many states have in order to get a concealed pistol license is absolute minimalist.

Mandating a waiting period is also okay. 3 days, 3 weeks, or even 3 months.
