Great idea register guns. That will stop kids using dad's legally registered guns to shoot up a school. And let's not forget those who don't plan on surviving their mass shooting plan, registering their guns will really help. No background checks and closing loopholes is the only realistic answer.

NO BIGGY! Not enough dead bodies.
WK1 3/28-/4 _Cases 301k--Dead 18.1k Lethality 2.72%
WK2 4/5-/13 _Cases 555k--Dead 22.1K Lethality 3.9%

WK4 4/22-/29 Cases 1M --Dead 58.8K Lethality 5.9%
WK5 5/1-/8__ Cases 1.3M -Dead 75.7K Lethality 6.1%
WK6 5/9-16__Cases 1.4M --Dead 85.8K Lethality 6.1%
WK7 5/17-24_Cases 1.7M - Dead 97.6K Lethality 5.9%
WK8 5/28 Cases 1.7M - DEAD 101.2K - Same
If it becomes tough on one daddy the next daddy will make damn sure his toys as secured so junior can't get access
It is common sense that if you create hurdles less people are going to spend the time, money and effort to build an arsenal.
Plus none of it may work, but any attempt merits consideration considering what we have now that is giving us a monthly school shooting. Better than your solution, more guns, as I've noted if that worked we should be the safest nation in the world by far considering the number of guns out there now
And I haven't seen any question you have ever raised
I'm probably way behind on this portion of the discussion but just saw the kid used two handguns. So the whole M.O. has been to ban assault rifles. Admittedly I don't know my guns all that well but I don't believe handguns qualify as assault rifles.
Not being a gun owner I don't know quite how this works. I assume one doesn't just leave their guns laying out at home. But I would also assume if you take them apart and store them it kind of defeats the purpose of having them for self defense. I can't imagine a robber/mugger being willing to wait while the owner assembles their gun to shoot at them.

How's that theory working with cars, since you think that's the model for gun control? Cars are registered and insured, and require training and a license, plus you need a key. Kids find ways to steal their parents cars and wreck them anyway.
You still haven't answered my questions. I think I know why.
So your answer is to just punish the parent because his kid broke the law by shooting someone. How many people drive every day with no drivers license nor car insurance? Do you think people would comply with that law when they ignore auto laws?
You really do wear rose colored glasses.
That was a typo it is supposed to say "No, background checks and closing loop holes is the only answer."

What kind of country have we become?
One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”
and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?
