Do you own guns? I do. Do you on a semi-automatic or automatic weapon? Me neither.
In redneck Montana, my friends tell me that anyone would be laughed out of town.if they went deer or elk hunting with what is essentially a machine gun.
In the Texas shooting, the shooter was an 18-year-old male. I haven't researched his background yet. I expect to read words like "loner" and "seemed shy but nice" when I do. Or maybe he has a history of documented mental illness.
Politicians are trying to crack down on "ghost guns," gun "kits" that can be bought online and have no serial numbers. Will it help? I don't know. I'd be interested to know what the NRA's stance is on ghost guns.
I think gun crime in our poorest neighborhoods (our so-called ghettos) will be hard to reduce. There are too many guns already out there.
But mass shootings could be reduced if we stopped the sales of semi-automatic and automatic weapons.
At least neither the Trumpians nor the Bed-wetters will be able to claim "racism" in this case. She shooter was Latino, as (I believe) were most of his victims.
What are your thoughts on the US's gun problem?

@TheHorse I don't understand how these weapons are so easy to get. I agree that we need stricter laws and penalties.

They do need to stop the sale of those again. But there is already a lot out there.
