The existing laws should have prevented him from having a weapon if he was DD. They did not work then did they?
The regulations need to make it more difficult for people like him to get guns. That—gun reform—would help. Doing nothing leads to more and more dead 5-year-olds.
Fun statistic: The US has a gun ownership rate of 112.6 guns per 100 people and a gun homicide rate of 3.85 per 100,000. The 2nd highest 1st world country (and 4th highest gun ownership overall) is that liberal bastion known as Sweden with 31.6 guns per 100 people. Their homicide rate by guns: 0.16 per 100,000.
Definitely something wrong with the US.
And you have seen it posted many times, if you take out the gang killings, we are near the bottom. So do something about the gangs.

It is illegal for him to legally buy or possess one already if he has been DD. How do you make it more difficult? He should not pass a NICS check if he tries to buy one under existing law.
I agree. I am totally for stricter gun laws. I am not sure they will help per se but agree we need to do it. Do you say the same for immigration and stoping people from coming in that have declared war on us?? From your prior post I would say you don’t. You take the same hard line stance that the NRA does on the other side.
I'm for sensible immigration control. Banning countries where terrorists don't even come from is not sensible immigration control, it's partisan nonsense.
Did you know Obama deported more illegal immigrants than any President in history? He just didn't do it like the Gestapo and break down people's doors in the middle of the night and rip disabled children out of their parents' arms like the Trump admin does.
