Josh Marshall points out that we need to change liability laws surrounding gun ownership. He also notes that this won't "solve" the problem, but it is an important societal step to make those who sell and own guns responsible for their product, just as a bartender is for selling more booze to an obvious drunk.
The point, I think, is not that changing liability laws or banning certain military grade weapons or raising the age to buy a gun or taxing guns and ammunition more or background checks or a mental health database or a "no-fly; no buy" list or biometric locks or whatever else you want to come up with will work in and off themselves.
The goal needs to be to kitchen sink the shit out of this problem. Do it all. And the only way to do it all is win control of the government.
