The thing is Batlord, that mass shootings rarely if ever happen here. We've had an increase in gun crime over the past decade due to the crossborder drugs for pot trade (our drugs your guns) but otherwise I can pretty much walk down any ghetto street in Canada and feel relatively safe.

Statistically there is relationship between the proliferation of arms in a country and gun crimes. In other words, the distribution of legal fire arms leads to a larger black market of illegal fire arms.

So keeping that in mind, and the fact that gun control is pretty much a futile effort in the US, so long as its decided on a state by state basis, you might want to at least look at restricting firearms to people who have a history of mental health issues, because tougher gun crime laws aren't going to deter mass shooters.
