If the problem is societal sickness, then maybe we should make it harder to get guns. Not a ban, but require better background checks and perhaps interviews. Force private sales to use the same system. And if someone is throwing up red flags, intervene and temporarily confiscate their gun.

I don’t think any of this is unpopular. Being inconvenienced and having to wait longer to get a gun is hardly an infringement of rights. Mass shooters may not abide by the law, but neither do people who make meth. Yet, we still have restrictions on purchases to try and minimize meth production.
