I agree, way too many unstable people have easy access to extremely dangerous weapons.
But we can't do anything about it. Because the NRA won't let us do anything about it. They're too powerful a lobbying organization and any time anyone suggests any kind of gun regulations, even something as simple as a trigger lock or a background check, they wet their collective pants.
You want to get real gun control passed? Go the opposite direction. Start arming antifa. Arm the black panthers again and have them follow cops around. Arm labor unions and gay rights groups and hispanic people and muslim immigrants and all the other groups republicans hate. They'll suddenly start supporting gun control when "those people" start arming themselves.
And, yes, this has actually happened before. The NRA supported gun control when the Black Panthers started arming themselves.
