'Free' (At the point of access) mental healthcare services, countrywide and they can be funded by whichever means would cause the least foaming at the mouth from the right wingers. National database for those being treated that is then used to correlate for gun purchases - this would cause most right wing nutjobs to shit themselves with rage at the government intruding in their lives. Whilst someone is being treated, restrict access to firearms - Make it a non-criminal offence. The police can confiscate the guns, hold them for safekeeping until the person is deemed well enough to own them again by the shrinks, No fines and no jail time. If this doesn't cause several aneurysms in the anti-government folks then I don't know what will. Anyways. Clamp the mother-blam!-ing hell down on the media reporting shootings, it's not waa freedom of teh press it's shouting fire in a crowded theatre. Same reason that reporting on suicides isn't widespread and subjected to ridiculous media scrutiny like Adam Lanza was, emulators. You stop planting the ideas in their heads and making the shooters out to be some anti-hero. Nobody should be able to remember their names after they start shooting, apart from those directly affected. This might kerb some of the shootings in Amurika, but of course this will just get trashed by people screaming about big gubermunt intruding in their lives.
