Firstly, treat guns like you treat cars + the usual proposed regulations. Required background checks on purchase, licensing, insurance, training, and testing. If we can't trust people to operate a vehicle without all those things, we certainly can't trust people with literal killing machines. Storage needs to be regulated to prevent domestic accidents with firearms, and failure of compliance needs hefty fines and/or jailtime.
Frankly, I also don't think you should be able to walk around with anything other than a concealed handgun without being harassed by police. Walking around with a rifle in public isn't for security, it's for intimidation.
Gun manufacturing itself needs to be regulated so that safety and security features are built into the weapons to prevent accidents and misuse - e.g. fingerprint readers on the weapon that verify that it's being held by the registered owner before use.
You might notice that none of these take guns away from good people. All of them either prevent bad people from obtaining guns, prevent them from using stolen ones, or prevent unfortunate accidents. There really isn't any rational argument against any of this.
