At the risk of sounding coarse...and this is especially relevant to a dirty foreigner (
) whose view of the subject is likely to invoke more of an image of a free-for-all hellscape than would be warranted..we don't have a "gun" problem, in america. We have a pistol problem.
You suggestion would not address mass shootings or our pistol problem, because our problem entirely circumvents background testing. If it -could- be enforced in the current climate..it might reduce some portion of our pistol problem..but it would be unlikely to do anything to our mass shooting problem. Our "gun problem" is illegal guns and ownership..but mass shootings are overwhelmingly committed with legally procured firearms. The people who purchase them would pass those tests.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
