Ordinary handguns are not going to be banned. Capacity and rate of fire limits will apply. But I see no reason to discount ordinary law enforcement actions as the best solution for a lot of the gun violence. The drug and gang side of things for instance. Cut that violence via better drug policy and strong anti gang actions and you are heading in exactly the right direction.

You make a great point. The vast majority of gun deaths are not these aberrational mass shooting. They are the one or two here and there a night in violent gang infested neighborhoods.

We are looking at this exactly backwards. Focusing on the day to day deaths will net more lives saved than focusing on Lanza and his ilk. Those crazy bastards will just gin up something else deadly like an IED.

Really cut gang activity and you cut gun deaths and reinvigorate the neighborhoods that need it most.
