Bans on the manufacture and sale of all semiautomatic and other military-style guns and government offers to buy back any rifle or pistol in circulation. It won’t solve the problem, but Australia proved that such programs can help reduce gun deaths.
But you can see the full-on retard trend. Yes, yes, I know it's the NYT but Friedman in the past has largely stuck to foreign affairs & economics. He's gone for a long walk on the ice with this one on a variety of points.
