Well it really depends on how those regulations are implemented. And it doesn’t improve the situation at gun-free zones at all. It does not address how to better protect people from the mentally ill or just plain evil. Again, all your proposals will be followed by the law-abiding, who aren’t the problem now.
Are some people going to be more equal than others?
Under CAs CCW process, it’s up to the local sheriff whether you get a CCW. It’s called discretionary issue. Some women after being almost killed, with restraining orders in place, and the offender threatening to kill them after getting out of prison – have been denied permits. Yet celebrities, the wealthy, and politicians seem to have no problem getting them. Some jurisdictions see self-defense as a legitimate reason, other interpert folks showing good judgment or justification as eliminating anyone other than someone who demonstrates their good judgement by donating to the sheriff’s re-election fund.
Yet, at my kids school the law abiding can’t even carry a knife. Not an adult, not a kid, no one. Someone reasonably proficient with a simple pump shotgun can wreak havoc. Nothing or no-one there to stop them. Help us all if they start googling how to create more destructive devices.
You say you want a solution but you avoid the core issue. Why would someone do this? How do you stop folks from wanting to do this? That is far more important than the weapon. If you have the desire, you will find the tool and opportunity.
You realize the Aurora shooter decided to bypass theaters closer to him than the one he chose. The one he chose was the only one with signs posted stating they prohibited legal CCW holders from carrying firearms onto the premises.
