Mass murder is not a gun control problem.
In 2003, Kim Dae-han, a middle-aged taxi driver, killed 192 people and left 151 others wounded, by setting a South Korean subway train on fire using paint cans filled with gasoline. In 2016, Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, a Muslim terrorist, killed 86 people and wounded 458 others by ramming a truck into a crowd celebrating Bastille Day in France. In 2001, Muslim terrorists killed 2,977 people and injured 6,000 more, by using box cutters to hijack airplanes and fly them into buildings.
Guns are a tool. There are a whole lot of other devastating ways to kill lots of people.
American mass killers often use guns

Word play as in Pro-choice.
Instead of gun control about Mental Health Control.
Usually young men, everyone seems to know they're off their rocker, but they're never "talked to".
If the police aren't "allowed", then somebody else has to.

This should be a must read. And somebody should send a copy to President Trump, if they have a route to see he gets it. Lots of excellent points in there that he could make from the bully pulpit.
Our nation's moral problem is called democrats aka communists, in every institution and level of government. They must go. Willingly or unwillingly, they have to be removed from our Republic.

We need millennial control. They're the ones that can't handle guns.

Gun control has existed for centuries, but due to a 1960s liberal agenda of “deinstutionalization,” people who should be institutionalized are on the streets terrorizing families and communities.
Without question, mental hospitals need to be reopened to protect not only the mentally ill, but to protect innocent citizens subjected to the terror/trauma of the untreated mentally ill who commit 10-percent of homicides (plus a higher percentage of mass killings); they constitute 20-percent of jail/prison inmates and more than 30-percent of the homeless according to statistics published in 2018. There were more than 100 mental hospitals in the States in 1955, with a population of over 560,000; the US population then was around 165 million and, based on 2018 statistics, the population is around 323 million so it seems reasonable to assume that more than 1 million people would be institutionalized by 1955 standards.
It has been written than closing mental hospitals was a particularly cruel idea that resulted in people “with raging mental illnesses” not being medicated and loose upon the streets and in communities. Further, “Worst of all is the fact that liberals who engineered the shutting down of mental institutions have never been held accountable for their folly.”

FTA: "Murder is not a technical problem, it's a moral problem."
The weekly high murder rates in cities would not be affected by the types of laws they're talking about. These laws wouldn't have impacted the gangbanger in CA who savagely stabbed/hacked 4 people to death and attacked several others. A couple of years ago a man used his car as a weapon and mowed down several people on a NYC sidewalk.
It's the human heart.
To POTUS and to our politicians: again, the criminal or insane deeds of anyone should have no impact on MY Rights, enumerated or otherwise. I should not lose my liberties because someone else has stupidly, idiotically committed senseless atrocities.
Now, for once, get facts (even if Joe "the Groper" Biden doesn't care about facts) and DO NOT act in haste.

Instead of college courses in Lesbian Literature and African Engineering, colleges should be turning out professionals to be employed in mental health facilities and homes for the aged. These positions should be well paid and attract only the best in their field. Don't tell me there is no money for it. The taxes these employees pay will be a boon for their communities.

FTA: “Instead we have a government that has made it easy for killers to operate by dismantling the criminal justice and immigration systems, making it very difficult to stop the three primary categories of killers, gang members, terrorists and the insane.”
Excellent article. A must read full of reason and common sense.

The Elite Left sees no difference between killers and regular people. After all, the elite live behind their walls, protected by THEIR guns, and only come out when they are running for office, or to frolic in equally protected venues.
To them, the good guys vote for them. The bad guys vote against them. Who really cares if they kill one another, provided the remainder vote the right way, or consume the products and services that further enrich the Rich?

To add to #8’s excellent post - we need to change the laws to make it easier for family members to have a clearly mentally ill relative institutionalized. These days it takes a court order from a judge and that can take weeks and weeks if you can even get one at all.

A constant refrain is " When He/She is on their Meds their just like you and me, but they stopped taking them". Mental Health Care has to be more than handing out anti-psychotic medications,and hoping for the best.

FIne, but don't forget that the left is fond of defining anyone who isn't one of them as crazy, dangerous, and a would be terrorist. Not far from the notion that liberalism is a mental disorder.
When 21st century Americans can't refrain from shooting each other how can 19th century technology be the cause?
