With a whole sale ban on firearms. People should be able to own firearms for hunting / target / sport shooting (pistols/rifles/shotguns) but clear/stringent regulations should be enacted. Such as:

100% background checks on both private and commercial sales. If you want sell your LC Smith shotgun to a person and you are not a licensed dealer you should have to do it thru a licensed firearm dealer to ensure a BG is done and the new owner is registered to that firearm.

Yearly registration (just like a car tag) that includes a BG check to ensure you are still fit to own a firearm (no felonies or mental health issues).

Safety classes initially and perhaps recurring should required.

Caps on magazine capacity 10 rounds or less. Under certain conditions one is only allowed to have 3 shells in a shotgun it should be that way accross the board and the same should go for pistols and rifles up to 10 rounds.

I own a pistol and a shotgun and enjoy target shooting, abiding by these rules would be a pain in the butt but I would have no problem with following them. People are always going to hurt other people it has been that way thru the entire recorded history of our species but it should not be as easy as it currently is to get an item that can enable a person to kill dozens and injure twice that amount or more in such a short period of time.
