That is what we all want. The problem is new crazies and home grown terrorists pop up all the time. Charles Whitman was not on anyone's radar when he went nuts. Micah Johnson (the Dallas sniper) had no criminal record. Adam Lanzla (Sandy Hook killer) was a kid, a bit odd but not odd enough to be labeled insane.
We don't have a machine that can look into the mind of someone and say he/she is going to go nuts and start shooting people. The alternative most countries take is severely restrict access to guns which limits the carnage, but does not stop it.
We pay a high price in this country for the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms.
Liberty is very scary for those raised in a box with a helicopter mom.
No need. Where is the crime in making a sale? Is there a victim?
When the numerous armed members of govt, congress, the executive branch,the supremes etc. all submit to psych testing from independent docs, then you come talk to the public at large about mental health.
Obama And his congress have killed how many? Should they posses weapons?
How many soldiers have killed innocent non combatants? Do we ban them from ownership too?
Yes there have been victims of mentally ill, you would have no issue with someone selling to you neighbor who just left an institution or the other neighbor with a felony gun crime charge. When they go out and kill some of the neighborhood children what is your response, no crime in the sale?

Those are already illegal. The possession, the sale to felons or mentally ill, and the murder.
You have to understand some hill folks and other types of crazy rural folks live in a different world. The urban vs rural divide is only growing stronger so it's natural for folks to cling to their old ways. Unfortunately, too many folks clinging to their old ways is why this country is where it is.
Open immigration has nothing to do with that right? We are importing tribal savages at a high rate and have for 100 years. Mass shootings tend to happen in large urban centers where the shooter lives. Not too many farmboys in the big city.
There was a lot more liberty in the Wild West than there is nowadays.
