I might be in the minority of gun owners, but I really don't care about eliminating all the silly loopholes in the firearms laws, and I actually support closing them. I don't see how anyone can argue against following the rules to buy a gun, whether in a tent or in a shop. I have long felt that private sales of guns should have to go through a FLL dealer with the buyer getting a background check. Anyway, I think our gun crime issues are far deeper than the actual guns, but that would be another argument, and a lot more expensive to implement (like social programs, wage equality, etc.), but following the laws we have and cutting out loopholes is a good place to start.

First thing I'd like to see is vigorous enforcement & prosecution under the current Federal and state laws that exist for firearm violations as well as requiring BCs for all transfers across the map.
I know it's seen a huge states rights issue and all that but I think the myriad of different laws & regs across the country does nothing but muddy the waters and contributes substantially to making any kind of nationwide change a pipe dream

Kellyanne Conway cites ‘Bowling Green massacre’ that never happened to defend travel ban

At one point, Conway made a reference to two Iraqi refugees whom she described as the masterminds behind “the Bowling Green massacre.”

“Most people don’t know that because it didn’t get covered,” Conway said.

The Bowling Green massacre didn’t get covered because it didn’t happen. There has never been a terrorist attack in Bowling Green, Ky., carried out by Iraqi refugees or anyone else.

It's actually pretty incredible how effective it has been to date.
A bonus is that when you don't frame your perspective in reality, you can just shout something like "FAKE NEWS!!" to invalidate any opposition

yelling "fake news" at the trump administration IS valid most of the time. the bowling green massacre is a great example.
