This is despite ample evidence that very tight handgun laws in NY and CT do not prevent these occurrences.
FWIW, I'm not a second amendment RWNJ and couldn't care less if Mr. Dropnosky legislates the automatic handgun out of existence. I cannot carry one anyway due the laws of this state.
About two miles from here a DB with an illegal handgun walked into a pharmacy on a Sunday morning and executed the pharmacist, a young woman at the register, and two customers because he needed some crystal meth. Ask Mr. Dropnosky how his new laws worked out for those folks.

It didn't, they are dead.
However, when timmy the put upon 17 year old goes ape and wants to off his classmates with his dads 45, only to find that its gone as part of Mr. Dropnosky's laws, and he doesn't know how to get a gun, so chooses some other method that results in less people killed or no deaths at all, maybe rules of the kind I am proposing would have some value to you.
No solution will solve all the problems Brian, but it might do you good to actually consider ideas even if reprehensible to you for their potential merits, even if not complete and total for all uses of weapons.
