Nick- I totally agree with you on the need to enforce existing laws. There is a possibility that doing so would, by itself, resolve the problem...yes, there is a chance. This is why it is important that more people registered to vote. With incumbents being so tied to Special Interest Groups and Lobbyists, it is going to take a great deal of folks interested in the common good to even get existing laws enforced, the prospect of passing more enforceable versions of those laws would be even harder. Your second point is a very important one...everyone should be alert to any strange or dangerous activities. Any follow-up on such reports, IMO, should be tempered with the fact that those folks being observed could still be completely innocent of what is 'perceived' to be dangerous and strange, in itself, is not a threat. The time has come for a new generation to select leaders and representatives who are not only sincerely interested in their needs, but are actually tied to them, body and soul. Thanks, Nick - for expressing yourself...I hope we are producing something here.

term limits would help, no reason that federal politician should be a career enforcing the laws,as I said, including follow ups on felons, harsh penalties for prior felons caught with guns and being firm on "straw purchases" (when a non-felon buys a gun for a felon to subvert the law) when law enforcement gets told about troubled people, maybe they should look into it. not use it as a catch all to strip gun rights without due process or anything, but at least take a gander? maybe?

All this being said, there is no law to stop mass shootings. Not in a nation this free, this vast and this populated. Norway has strict laws and that Andres Brevik guy killed 70+ in one day .....
The truth is, mass shootings are a tiny part of gun violence, but the one most feasted in by the media. why no outrage over black on black violence in our inner cities via guns? after suicide they are the #1 category of gun violence in the nation! ETA: top 3 categories of gun deaths are suicide, gang/criminal on criminal violence, and domestic violence. the rest are a very tiny part of our nation's crime (and semi-auto rifles are a tiny part of that)
