“Gun control” comes in many forms: the tracking another user mentioned; requiring continuing education or training courses every so often; ensuring that people with histories of violent or suicidal behavior and/or people who have been identified by a certain number of community members as poor candidates for gun ownership (no idea if this is a popular notion, but I would not have wanted 4/5 of the people I knew who later committed violent crimes with guns to have been allowed to own them, and mutual acquaintances have agreed with me that they were not stable/safe people, and it’s always seemed like a good idea, as long as there are safeguards in place to prevent bullying and other abuse) aren’t allowed to own guns; and in some parts of the country, requiring a gun license for using long guns are all forms of gun control. It’s not hard to imagine that 90% of Americans support one of those at least.
