I'm a gun owner, but not a gun enthusiast. I'm generally supportive of 2nd Amendment rights, but I'm deeply concerned about what seems to be the increasing frequency of horrific gun violence in the US.

So what's the answer? How do we, as a society, get a handle on the senseless shootings while preserving the rights of citizens to bear arms?

I'm asking this in earnest. Please respond without name-calling (eg. libtards, gun-nuts, teabaggers, etc).
