As has been asked by several people on this tread,
How would ANY law or change being discussed here, or anywhere, have prevented the tragedy?
We would be as successful by passing a LAW to make cancer illegal.

These proposed changes do NOTHING to attack the root of the problem. Define the root cause and you might be on your way to a solution.

A guess... Mental health issues? Overall mental health wellness?

Not sure what you intend.
Should the government be allowed to incarcerate anyone for whom they can find a doctor who will certify that they need to be incarcerated?
What could possibly go wrong with that? Suddenly free speech gets interpreted as "aberrant behavior, and the speaker needs to be held 'for their own safety'". Yep--that would be good.

No, that was not my intention. I actually had no ideas at the time but its clear that mental health and well being are things that need to be addressed within this context. Not just gun control. If Lamza really wanted to kill all those people and didn't have relatively easy access to a gun...he would have still done so using whatever he could. I read he was a fairly smart/intelligent kid. I would not have put it past him to make something to do equal if not more harm.

So that brings us back to the core problem Lamza's mental health and well being.

You can legislate guns into the ground but if he was set on killling...

The gun would have been locked up and he may not have gained access to the guns.
