It’s why people use Chicago as an example of gun control failing. Not that you need that pointed out to you.
I think someone pointed out the number of firearms that currently exist in the United States and it was like 400 million or so. Whatever. At some point it’s so high it’s arbitrary. Anyways it’s pretty safe to say even if all gun manufacturing and sales stopped today, there’s plenty available. Turn them all in to be destroyed? Even if you had 99.99% confiscated/turned in, that still leaves 4,000,000 guns available to the public in some way. How may does it take for a mass shooting? The remaining .01% that didn’t turn in are most likely, or would be post ban, criminal. So obviously a highly effective gun ban or confiscation (99.99% success rate) wouldn’t solve the problem completely. Legislation is out.
A well armed and trained law enforcement? Already there and even with the best response times are preventing deaths.
I honestly believe the answer is rooted in society and therefore very complicated. It’s mental health and there’s so many variables there, it’s hard to pinpoint where to start. It also takes someone much smarter and more qualified to speak in that area, than a bunch of Jeep enthusiasts on a forum.
