Pay attention to people with serious mental health issues, get them the medical help they need, take away their guns, rescind legalization of marijuana and the number of massacres will subside.

We don't need to ban guns. It just should be as hard as possible to get. That may inconvenience good owners (and I may be one of them in the future), but it should be an acceptable inconvenience.
It may not stop every shooting like we saw this week because if someone really wants to get a gun they'll find a way, but making the process super rigid could sway a couple of killers to scrap their plan because they don't want to put in the effort. Why make it easy for them?
