It would require mandatory gun safety classes to be a legal owner. It would outlaw sales of weapons that have no purpose other than as mass killing machines.

My goal is simply to reduce the numbers and limit the potential carnage from any single event. Notice I didn't mention denying anyone the right to own and carry handguns, rifles or shotguns. Only the most radical lefty thinks that makes any sense

To legally own a gun in most states is a pain in the ass already. There are gun show loopholes but even if you buy a handgun in CA through the loophole, if you don't have the handgun owners safety certificate you are already committing a felony by owning it.
Hard to draw the line on a gun that's 'only' purpose is to mass kill, since all guns are designed to kill in general. All an assault weapon is (by the medias definition) is a magazine fed semiautomatic rifle thats 'scary' looking. They most commonly used legitimately for hunting and home defense. Hunting rifles even generally come in a larger caliber, but don't have pistol grips and other 'evil features' (legal term).
