There are loopholes that could be closed and monitoring of the unwell mentally ill, but a ban deprived the wrong people and removes too many deterrents.

Australia banned certain guns and gun violence went DOWN there. The main difference between the US and Australia is that Australia does NOT have the NRA. So, that tells me that SOMETHING could be done about US gun murders .....but that it is MORE IMPORTANT to have the US NRA protect the profits of the GUN MANUFACTURERS.
...........Murders and mass murders are INCREASING each year. The US is the country with the most GUNS in the hands of civilians - so, why haven't the murders DECREASED. Hint.......they are not going to DECREASE, JUST THE OPPOSITE. More gun sales ADD to the PROBLEM, they have NOT decreased the problem.
