This problem is going nowhere and it is only going to get worse. No gun law is going to stop it unless it's aimed directly at the manufacturing and lobbying groups. Unfortunately, there are already way too many guns out there to see any decline of these incidents in the foreseeable future.
Personally, I have no problem with hunting rifles, shotguns and handguns. I support more extensive background checks on those who want to obtain them.
We are never going to stop people from doing harm with those if they choose to do so, but there is absolutely no need for assault weapons or any other firearm that can shoot off more than five or six rounds. There needs to be a complete ban on the manufacturing and possession of such. This includes weapons that can be reloaded quickly or modified to accept clips.
