Here's the question I can't answer: why do we focus so hard on the hardware side of the question, and not the software? Is it because we all agree that we can do nothing to prevent the mentally ill, the poor, the disenfranchised, and the criminally-minded from acting out violently?

Other things with broad support and with more real world effect include the universal background checks, higher taxes on guns and bullets, bans on large clips, making gun owners liable for the crimes committed with their guns, requiring gun sellers to not sell when a person passes the check but is obviously mental, requiring liability insurance for gun owners, etc etc.

BTW: the "assault weapons" ban simply won't go anywhere. You're dreaming if you think the same motherfuckers who are willing to crash the entire US economy in the name ideological purity would yield on this.
