I think the real line here is the solution is simple, remove all guns with the exception of pistols and shotguns. Bill from the UK has provided some powerful insight here. Those intent on doing harm will find a way whether or not there are guns.
So, you are in favor of mentally ill people with a desire to kill as many people as possible to buy and own guns??

Conflating "disarming Americans" with regulating who can own guns is a bit of a scare tactic from my point of view.

During the previous administration it was believed that guns sales were going to be seriously reduced, resulting in massive increases in people buying guns and ammunitions. Now that the previous administration is over, the numbers have been added up and in fact just the opposite occurred, and more guns were sold during it that under any other in history.

Again, conflating regulation with disarming is not helping the conversation or helping to solve the problem.
