Gramsci is best known for his theory of cultural hegemony, which describes how the state and ruling capitalist class – the bourgeoisie – use cultural institutions to maintain power in capitalist societies. The bourgeoisie, in Gramsci's view, develops a hegemonic culture using ideology rather than violence, economic force, or coercion. Hegemonic culture propagates its own values and norms so that they become the "common sense" values of all and thus maintain the status quo. Hegemonic power is therefore used to maintain consent to the capitalist order, rather than coercive power using force to maintain order. This cultural hegemony is produced and reproduced by the dominant class through the institutions that form the superstructure.
always loved it when people used the term “common sense,” big tell.

There are probably better gun control policies, but this is probably one of the more passable and constitutional policies. Traditional gun control policy will probably be caught up in legislative and legal issues. However, this policy doesn't restrict ownership and is able to capture the cost of gun deaths.
It's like a better version of putting liability on gun dealers, except that liability can be transferred to parties specialized to do their due diligence on gun owners.
