I think citizens should be allowed to own nothing but a handgun. That's it. There's no reason to own a larger gun. For self defense, a handgun is sufficient.
Now, for those into hunting. You must apply for license to hunt. This would entail background checks, psyche tests, the full shebang. If approved, they're allowed to rent the gun the license permits from the local armory (which will clean and maintain the weapons) to go hunting. After the hunting session has concluded, the gun must be returned.
One could argue, saying "well the hunter could just go on a killing spree". Possibly. However, anything is possible when talking about guns. I imagine this would help reduce the incidents though. Plus, the guns would always be registered and they'd be easily caught.
Of course, illegal firearms are still a problem. However, if that ends up being the only problem than I think the country would still be a safer place than now.
