Someone said today "Everytime there is a shooting, people want to take the guns away from the people that didn't do it". Thant is a good point.

When the government wanted Al Capone out of business, they used tax laws ... do the same with guns ... you can have a gun, but you pay a hefty and increasingly burdonsome sales tax ...
you can buy ammunition, but you pay a hefty and increasingly burdonsome sales tax
You need a licence for each and every gun - and the licence gets more expensive every year

would take a few years, but legal gun ownership would become financially impractical for most

Make illegal gun ownership penalties too punative, and expensive for most to contemplate.

You will only be left with a hardcore of owners

In response to the argument that the US does not have a gun problem, but a mental health, education and socioeconomic problem, I say this.

These are, in fact, serious problems related to gun violence. While these are being addressed, or fixed (which is not happening) people still have their hands on guns. The top 4 US cities perpetrating gun violence problems need to be reformed in all the areas stated above. Stating amendment rights, regarding bearing arms, doesn't address the right to not to be killed by them. There's a huge mess in the way of resolving this problem and it won't get better until the guns are taken away, even temporarily. When the education, mental health and socioeconomic issues creating this problem are resolved, you can have your guns back...

But why would you need them at that point? And/or, can these problems ever be resolved to the extent that guns won't continue to be a problem?

The current US administration, as well as those which preceded it, did not do enough to prevent gun violence. A president who is more interested in the well being of the people, than he/she is in just being president, will make the difference. Yes, that person exists.

Whatever the stats are on gun violence and the "misrepresentation of these numbers" based on the populations of difference counties, many more people are dying from guns.

The only country which sees the US as "the greatest country in the world", is the US. The rest of us see the country as pretty fucked up.

As far as I'm concerned, this guy has it right. The stats he has can also be check through the CDC and there is also a similar study done through the Stanford Library. that one pertains to school shootings I believe.

Ban assault weapons, control sale of weapons for very specific end use and do mental & background checks.

Just remember, probably every country on the planet have people suffering from mental illness of one form or another. But none have mass murders like the US. The common denominator is not mental illness, but guns (especially assault weapons). Duh.

Perhaps the rest of the world no longer gives a damn about your problem because they have in many instances have had Americans inflict it in their own countries.

Ban multiple round magazines and AK type rifles(those are purely to kill people or make men feel like their dick is bigger, or for women to feel they have a dick; either way, too bad. Get a nice strap on); stricter background checks, close the gun show loophole. Stiffer penalties for those who have illegally altered guns, illegal guns, or who break the laws.
Just my opinion. I own a gun, come from a good old Southern family with lots of guns. I’d not object to required safety classes for first time owners.

What is this obsession with single “solutions”? Must we be limited to one single thing, and if it doesn’t produce a 100% reduction in crime we have to reject it? That’s a magic/religious approach: “do this one thing and the world will be perfect.” Rational adults understand that complex problems require a multi-faceted approach and that none of them will guarantee safety.

Restrict the media from televising the event stop giving the killers notoriety no rewards for the ego s of the perpetrator.

More internet polls gets my vote.

The world has to do something about mass killings. The answer isn't simple. I can envision citizens reporting their friends to the government for "suspected possible shooter". There will be teams to investigate neighbors.
