Before I got in my car this morning, I was watching the news, and on CTV one interviewee was asked if more strict background checks would have prevented the shooter from buying guns. Her answer was a emphatic no. He'd passed a background check to by the gun that he used.
As has been discussed before, unless the US is willing to track accusations without trial and voluntary visits to health care professionals they're stuck with limited options, that go to the mechanics of gun control instead of the spirit of gun control.
Attempting to tighten the type of fire arms that can be bought. Shutting down the concept of gun shows, and heavier enforcement of gun crimes including minor gun crimes are probably where their going to have to work, and I doubt they get very far with that.
