We could start by doing more than the bare minimum when it comes to regulation and keep guns out of the hands of people who do not have the mental health to have them including people who are reported for psych checks and people who are domestic abusers. We could also make mental healthcare and physical healthcare socialized.

But apparently those are much harder than just putting even more guns into the mix, which will, I'm sure, definitely not lead to even more deaths.

Healthcare is key, and I'm all for that. Background checks are hit or miss, but better than nothing. The real challenge lies in enhancing these checks to be more effective while respecting lawful ownership rights. I do agree with your points, may we hope for better days friend.
