There is a very simple solution to this. Gun nutters will go crazy over this and argue this with me. Keep in mind I have firearms myself.
We need more gun laws. There are two main reasons we have such attacks - anger issues, or mental health issues. We need gun laws that will work deal with these two items.
Anger Issues: If someone has any kind of interaction with the police where violence is involved, they need to have their firearms taken away from them. If you assaulted someone, hit your spouse, threatened someone, resisted arrest.... Your firearms are taken away from you, and you loose the right to purchase or own more firearms. This would be for a set period of time PLUS you should be required to take anger management classes.
Mental Heal Issues: If you have mental health issues, PTSD, etc, you should lose the right to own firearms.
We also need to go a step further and say that if someone has any of these two issues, they are not allowed to live in a house where firearms are stored.
This is common sense. Yet somehow it's not happening.
