I personally would not go further. I would turn all attention then to enforcement of the laws and stiff penalties for individuals, dealers and manufactures that break the laws… with penalties at least as strong as those for drug offenders.
Legal concepts and practices can be changed. These more and more frequent mass shootings can pave the way to a general uproar. When “enough is enough” will make the support disappear. Of course the proper way would be gradual.
In Dayton it took about 30 seconds to respond and still 9 people were dead.
I’ve wondered about this for some time. Maybe a course over a longer period, like 12 weeks, meeting for a couple hours each week, led by an instructor who has psychological training. Over a longer period of time people tend to express themselves more openly, and it might allow an expert to notice someone who isn’t balanced. Maybe include things like conflict resolution as part of the training.
The legitimate need for concealed carry is self-defense. Everyone has the right to it. Otherwise you get situations like New Jersey where only the rich and politically connected get to defend themselves, while all those gross plebeians just have to die.

I think you can own a bazooka if you get a permit and pay a hefty tax. I don’t know of any law that would prevent you owning an Abrams, but likely the manufacturer has an exclusive agreement with the government.
The solution is easy. I presented it above. No mass shootings can happen if there is no ammo.
In other words, a cowardly end run around the Constitution. What other rights should we end in such a despicable manner?
The illegal market will continue to provide all the ammo needed, especially to the criminal element. Just like heroin and meth are available in great quantities despite being totally illegal, ammo will also be available in any quantity needed.
Oh yes, just like the proverbial frog in a pot of water and then slowly turn up the heat.
No, it was people finally realizing that tobacco use is bad for one’s health.
