Consider taxing and regulating guns like cigarettes and alcohol.

Guns should be treated like the public health issue it is. According to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, there have been over 300,000 deaths over 10 years due to gun violence. The resultant cost to society from hospital visits is akin to cars. Consequently, it should be taxed and regulated like cars whereby for each gun you purchase legally, which is often the first point of entry into the gun marketplace, you should pay a tax and register your gun. For each gun you register, you can annually renew *only* after you have proven of sound mental health and that you can hit the target on the bulls-eye.
