I may have missed it but what would you do if you were The ruler of America to solve this problem? You missed my post yesterday to one_less saying I don't know. I have over the last few days moved from throwing up my hands and muttering "shit happens" to lack of opposition to outlawing the sale of military weapons on the grounds that it's cheap and it just might mitigate somewhat. (I consider the weapons we have been discussing to be military weapons.) I have always thought that background checks should be required for all weapons sales. I've recently realized that we need to beef up attention to maintaining the records that go into that, which might have avoided Las Vegas. I don't know a lot about it but I think that this mechanism that has developed in a few states to temporarily remove the guns of threatening persons is worth consideration.
