Dear Ted, top leading causes of death per year USA. Heart disease 635k, cancer 598k, accidents 161k, respiratory disease 154k, stroke 142k, Alzheimer's 116k, diabetes 80k, influenza 51k, kidney disease 50k, suicide 44k. We can do things about these.
Nearly 40,000 Americans lose their lives each year because of gun violence. We can’t afford to make this a partisan issue. Enough is enough. It's time to face the facts on this episode of #TruthWithTed. #EndGunViolencepic.twitter.com/W0AwIIG3oG

Another truth not much discussed is that 22K of those deaths were suicide by gun. Mental health access must lead the way to reducing gun deaths.

Can a gun be registered like a car and when you buy ammo you show your license/registration???

That is awesome, and it should have insurance like a car
