Flamethrowers, grenades, land mines are for warfare as also are assault weapons of various kinds.
A ban of some weapons meant for battlefields would at least cut down the flow of these into some areas and into some hands. Red flag laws and close monitoring of those with mental illness by friends, co-workers, and family could also help.

Very funny about the land mines and all that!
I agree about watching for signs of mental illness. That could potentially have stopped several tragic multiple shootings such as in some schools and Las Vegas as well as some bombings such as those of the Unabomber, at the Boston Marathon and in Oklahoma City although it might be difficult to effectively implement except in a police state such as Cuba, China, Russia, Venezuela and the like.
I would definitely bring back and enforce the death penalty for first degree murder and multiple shootings.
