Here in the UK, those currently in power are not addressing the reasons why people are stabbing each other. Take away guns and people will have no problems finding other ways to kill each other. A knife attack is usually less deadly than an attack with a gun, this is true. What I'm trying to get at is that banning certain weapons isn't solving the problem of why people may be hate-filled (or prone to gang related violence) in the first place. You need to stop people from wanting to pick up that gun and going out to shoot people in the first place!
Here's some steps the USA should take to reduce deaths due to guns:
1. Having a good system of mental health services to help people with their problems (hint: a well-funded NHS style-system)
2. Not being afraid to call the people who encourage violence (e.g. Donald Trump) and for the media to not be "neutral"
when on some issues one side is clearly wrong (such the need to acknowledge that most domestic terrorism being carried out by white men and not "brown people")
3. Stopping people on the terrorist watch list from owning guns. E.g. Senate Republicans Vote To Allow Terrorists To Legally Buy Guns In The US
4. Educating people and addressing income inequality. To me it's a bit strange that some people think that immigrants are conspiring with CEOs to keep their wages down. A person coming to the USA with nothing has no power whatsoever. The American system is what's keeping wages down. e.g. Congress Hasn’t Given Minimum Wage Earners A Raise In A DECADE
Four steps that would go a long way without banning any particular weapons. I believe that when Capitalism starts to collapse Fascism grows in strength. We saw it in the 1930s. You would need to address the economic situation in the USA because the USA is collapsing.
