Is this something government can do anything about?
They've been trying things like gun restrictions, waiting periods, magazine restrictions, "gun free" zones etc. - laws that obviously only the law-abiding will obey, and criminals will ignore. And the result is heartbreakingly obvious, especially today: Three more dead, a dozen or more injured in yet another mass shooting.
Perhaps it's time we tried something else?
But what, exactly?
Its easy. Limit gun selling to government buildings only by verified employees.
Sell guns with scanned gun licenses and a database that tracks all the guns and bullets they buy.
A percentage of gun shops sell guns illegally, we can eliminate that.
Gun show loopholes pass guns around black market.
Theres plenty of guns in the country, we can reduce the amount of guns manufactured.
Get the ATF back up to speed so they can actually enforce the laws, and find offenders.
Use the same enforcement for guns that they do for black people, then the non registered and black market guns can get cleaned up quickly.
You do all that, law abiding gun owners dont have to worry, and non gun owners dont have worry.
Once we get some kind of mental health care in this country we might actually be able to find the wackos before they commit these shootings.

This sort of violence is the direct response to our society telling kids that their behavior has no consequences. So you see, once again, we have liberals setting policy that harms our nation, then we have liberals calling for policy which will punish gun owners for the failures of liberal policy.
Oh, I guess THIS is the shooting of the day here in America! I thought it was going to be the Synagogue shooting in Florida or the block party in Brooklyn.
Wherever will the blessing of the second amendment bring it tomorrow????

ATF has created more crime than it has stopped.
Go to a gun store or gun show and buy one of these loophole guns. No really, go try it.
Not one word on CNNs website about this being a white male shooter.
There must be a reason why...
No, not one, but many....Every time the shooter was described...White male, 25 to 35, wearing green vest, grey kerchief around neck, shorts and a ball cap...How did you miss that?
