Guns in the hand of the trustworthy

Ah, guns. This term is heard everywhere and often on national television because it is connected to rights and violence.
There are two sides on the rights issue. Should guns be banned?
Right now we are very far away from banning them from every american but is there a way to keep them out of the hands of those who are dangerous? Then you can feel safer knowing only the healthy minded possesses one. If you look at the Sandy Hook shooting, the Northern Arizona shooting, Columbine and many othela it is devastating. According to gun owners I have talked to, it's very easy to obtain a fire arm. I think there should be a test on the functions of a gun which also reviews gun laws. Then the gun shop must require test results from a psychologist regarding your mental health and behavior. Also a background check on your family. For example if you haves child who is frequently violent, that may raised a few red flags. There should be a national database that has all the guns and owner with an ID numbers registered. The requirements to obtain a fire arm should be more rigorous. The fact the someone can pass downs gun to anyone is a separate problem which will be much harder to solve.
