As president, I'd stop the sale of certain weapons and cartridges. As we do hand grenades, bazooka's, surface to air missiles, tanks, certain bomb making material, etc.
I do not think all guns should be confiscated, but they should be controlled so to keep them out of the hands of those under age, a felon, a non U.S. citizen, etc.

Can you give me examples of mass killings where hand grenades, bazookas, surface to air missiles; tanks have been used on American people?
Bomb making material can be made out of anything found in a hardware store. It’s impossible to police.

The idea that gun control is crime control is just a myth. The National Academy of Sciences reviewed dozens of studies and could not find a single gun regulation that clearly led to reduced violent crime or murder.
To purchase a handgun in California, like Elliot Rodgers did, a buyer must have a Handgun Safety Certificate. This is obtained by studying a 50 page study guide and passing a written test, which consist of 30 questions, given by a Department of Justice certified instructor, on the safe and legal use of handguns. The certificate is valid for five years.
A buyer must also perform a Safe Handling Demonstration when taking possession of a handgun. Some individuals are exempt from the Safety Certificate and Handling Demonstration requirements, including active and retired military and law enforcement personnel, hunter safety certificate holders, and concealed carry license holders.
Don... From what you have just told me. Even if you were president, I don't see anything you propose working.
