So no more mass shooting? Thanks, chief.
You're the one who acts like more laws will stop these shootings. They're not even enforcing the ones on the books...at the end of the day, you either tell the truth and have the military go door to door and round up the firearms, causing a civil war or you put in more feel good laws about firearms you think look scary.
Or you do a gun buyback program like Australia did. Then make firearms illegal without a license and a reason.
Then, like all other first world countries, you literally see murder plummeting.
Australia has around 1mil firearms in private hands...had a 60% turn in rate, and never had the murder rate we do anyways. If 60% of the USA turned in the firearms, you'd be left with over 100 million still out there.
Murder rates have been dropping in the US for decades, mass shootings are a small but high profile problem
