First and foremost, firearm custodianship should be considered a privilege to be vetted to standards, not an unrestricted right to anyone with a pulse. This is unlikely to ever happen, so, moving on.
Mentally/emotionally unfit persons should be forbidden access, to include unstable persons with proven poor judgement and poor impulse control. Common sense.
Personal arsenals outside of FFL dealers of record should be tightly regulated. Ammo hoarding as well. Tracking unregulated militia groups associated with these activities makes good sense.
Tactical high capacity/ rapid fire weaponry should be restricted and treated as full auto, special permits with an expiration. Issued mainly to game wardens who deal with potentially dangerous creatures, bears, wild boars, etc, and poachers who fire on wardens. Yes, that's a thing.
Civilians and sport hunters have no practical civilian application or justification for tactical weaponry as tools for mass murder.
Responsible persons should be able to defend their household and enjoy regulated hunting and sport shooting activities, state and local regulations cover this under the 10th amendment.
That's off the top of my head.
