Backgrounds checks to see if you have a history of mental health issues, coupled with a better mental healthcare service. That might be a good place to start.


And then there's the illegal way to aquire guns.
People can get their hands on anything they want, regardless of legality, I'm not that naive. My point of improving mental healthcare still stands.

Death to rank junkies.

Security guards.

Someone shows up with a gun, the security guards shoot him.

Every school I was in growing up had at least one police officer there. They can't be everywhere at once, and that's an impractical way to stop a shooting.

My school has a cop in it pretty much at all times. That wouldn't stop someone walking in in between classes changing and killing 50 kids in the hallway before anyone knew what was going on.

As I've said before, regulations are -blam!- up. In my home state, I must be 21, have a valid driver's license, pass a thorough background check, and have attended a concealed carry class and earned the certification in order to buy a small 9mm pistol that carries ~13 rounds. It's a process that can take weeks.

However, I can walk into any store, show my driver's license, do a 5 minute background check, and walk out with a military-grade long rifle (such as an AR-15, M14, etc.) 5 minutes later with enough ammo to kill off a small town.

That makes 0. -blam!-. Sense.

They should carry over the same laws as for concealed carry, not banning guns, and not making them necessarily harder to get, but allowing more channels to be put in place to deter most from going through the work to attain a weapon. For the most part, though, most weapons used in shootings are purchased illegally and typically through a black market, rather than legitametly.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Or we could give EVERYONE guns.
Even convicted felons?
Except them.

Because they already know every illegal way to acquire even more guns.


By "illegal ways" do you mean keep trying gun stores until you get lucky? That's the reality of illegally purchasing a weapon.

For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

Better mental healthcare so disturbed individuals can be detected and treated early on.

Stop publicizing these things and giving already-disturbed individuals ideas for "how to go out."

Keep trained and armed officers at schools.

Enhance security measures at schools, such as better monitoring of entrances and reinforced doors.

And even with all those security measures, handguns are still the most common weapons used in gun-related deaths.

-I was here

psych evaluations to use a gun and/or arm more people. The evaluation will help screen out those who would go on a shooting spree, whilst arming more people will make it harder to get away with shooting sprees. By the time the cops get to the scene, a shooter will have had time to empty several clips into a crowd. If 3 or 4 of those civilians were packing, he'd get off maybe 5 shots before someone else takes him down.

Nothing will stop it. Getting rid of guns or "assault weapons," which is a vague as hell term, won't change anything. Disturbed people will still find ways to go about killing others. You can create some pretty deadly things with stuff just laying around the house.

No you can't. Just because it is the same design doesn't mean it is the same quality. You can only buy semi-auto weapons that have a lot of civilian parts inside of them. The only thing you could argue is magazine sizes compared to most other rifles and handguns. Which still honestly doesn't matter that much.
