I believe that if anything is done, it is going to have to be done in a logical, step by step manner, and is treated as a national emergency:
1. Establish that "right to bear arms" does not include mass human killing devices like automatic weapons, or any weapon capable of becoming one.
2. Establish restrictions to ownership based on degrees of violent or potentially violent behavior:
a. criminal record with associated violence - ownership denied
b. for any demonstrated act of violence (to be defined) - ownership denied or waiting period
c. for reasons of mental health (to be defined) - ownership denied or waiting period
d. for reasons of social media (to be defined) - ownership denied or waiting period
Stiff penalties to weapon sellers for non compliance
