There is no single solution to this problem but one thing that needs to be said is, "Anyone who would own an assault rifle or desire to own one is a morally depraved individual." Blaming this on mental illness is dishonest. Statistically, the mentally ill are more law abiding than the mentally healthy. Blaming it on mental illness demonizes the mentally ill.
More evil than the shooters are the Republicans and their gun-centric base.
One Solution: Since it is impossible for police to protect the innocent from the depraved Gunfederates and Trump mobsters we should at least give folks a heads up by publishing a gun owners registry just like we do for sex offenders. It should contain the names and contact information of gun owners and what guns they own. This way citizens and first responders would know what they may be facing and who in their neighborhood is a gun nut and who is merely a sportsman. The guy with the hunting guns and personal protection guns is very different than the asshole with weapons of war. Forewarned is forearmed.
Race is a component in these massacres as is politics but I think it is best that we try not to mix them and stay on point. There may even be racists who are for commonsense gun laws though not many. As to race, there is one race, the human race of which many Republicans are not members.

To me this shows that gun laws alone will do little to stop these massacres. The depravity that cultivates Trumpism/Republicanism is the root cause. Short of spaying and neutering these sub-humans we are forced to use more difficult solutions.
1. Doctors should ask before prescribing certain drugs if their are guns in the home. Many mass shootings have involved psychiatric medications.
2. 18 yearolds can't buy booze but they can buy guns. That needs to stop.
3. Gun nuts need to be humiliated and mocked until they see that rights come with responsibilities and that guns are not toys.
4. People with illegal guns should face minimum of 10 years in prison or 5 years if the agree to be spayed or neutered.
5. All military style assault weapons should be confiscated.
6. Police unions that up until now have enabled police to break the law need to step up for their officers in protecting them from these high powered killing machines.
I hope this helps.
Gun wackos are usually right wing so that there’s really no reasoning with them.
