Guess it's time for us all to just bow our heads in shame.
The LA Times using a database from "The Violence Project" concludes that if all the "common sense" gun control laws had been in effect the vast majority of mass shootings (about 87%) since 1966 could have been prevented. They picked 167 mass shootings from 1966 to the present to study...don't know their criteria.

They claim the following five laws would have done it.
1. Ban on straw purchases.
2. Safe storage laws.
3. Assault weapons ban-which would prohibit the sale of many high-powered rifles.
4. Mandatory background checks.
5. Red Flag (gun confiscation) laws.
Personally I pretty much read this stuff just to keep my blood pressure high enough to continue to pump the red stuff through my clogged veins and arteries.
