Yes and no

End the gun show loophole.
Do not require a course for a license to own a gun, or else it will be limited by income, time (doctors may be too booked to class the class, for example), and supply of teachers and spaces in each class.
No discrimination on a religious basis. Even Muslim terrorists are likely to lie about their religion or get a gun illegally anyway.
Make sure it is possible for people with mental health issues to get it, provided that their condition is controlled well enough.
People who have gone to a mental hospital before should not be disqualified from having a gun, as long as their condition is controlled well enough now. Otherwise, many people who need a mental hospital will not go, and many who needed it because of overwhelm from temporary and possible unusual circumstances, such as abuse, will not be allowed to have it when they are perfectly able.
3D printing of guns should be legal for those who qualify for a gun.
I'd support adding gun use to the required high school curriculum, using fake bullets.
The government should pass laws that help people not be restricted from using their gun when in danger.

Really, I think the govenerment should appoint a team of experts to make decisions regarding gun laws. Perhaps experts on psychology, sociology, gun political science, political psychology, ethics, philosophy, the Constitution, law, and research evaluation. That way they can consider all angles of each decision and evaluate research to see what research is good and thus can be used for decision making or not.

Gallup Poll Bombshell: Over Half of Ukrainians Ready for Peace

More than half of Ukrainians want talks to end the war with Russia, according to the latest Gallup polls released on Tuesday, the war’s 1,000th day. The surveys, conducted in August and October, found that 52 percent of Ukrainians want their nation to negotiate an end to the war in Eastern Europe that has been raging for over two-and-half years. Almost four in 10 Ukrainians, 38 percent, want their military to keep fighting until it wins the war. Some 9 percent did not know or refused to share their opinion on the matter. The outlook of the Ukrainians is different from the period when the invasion began in February 2022. Just months after Russia’s invasion kicked off, around 73 percent of Ukrainians wanted to keep fighting. The support for continued fighting dropped among Ukrainians in 2023 when 63 percent wanted the conflict to continue while 27 percent preferred a negotiated peace, according to the survey. The poll comes as Ukraine fired U.S.-made long-range missiles inside Russia for the first time since the restriction was reportedly lifted by the Biden administration. On the same day, Russian President Vladimir Putin lowered the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons. The support for continuing the war has dropped among Ukrainians across the country, dipping to below 50 percent throughout the nation this year, Gallup noted. The biggest declines were in regions that are far from the front lines. Over half of Ukrainians, 52 percent, agree that Kyiv should be open to making some territorial concessions as part of a cease-fire, according to the poll. Around 38 percent disagreed while another 10 percent did not know.
