8. S'why I support a nationwide FOID card.

No individual gun registration, for many reasons that I'm not getting into now, but just a simple, cheap, readily-available ID. Would come with basic education on safe storage and use. Top it with nasty penalties for negligence, in storage or use, and I suspect a lot of genuine accidents would be stopped. Safety doesn't require a lot of intelligence, you just have to care about it - which a lot of people don't. "Accidents" don't "happen" with guns.
