60. As bad is the truth is

If a shooter wants to do it, they will find a way. I think opening up the NICS for private sales free of charge and mandating it's use would help a little. However, all of the shooters that I am aware of passed them anyway. We do need to ensure the best and complete information is in the NICS database. You could try and limit magazine size but there are billions in circulation. You could try another AWB, but they are the least used weapons in crime. Check out the new style of NY SAFE act compliant rifles. They are still semi-automatic rifles, just no longer "assault weapons", although functionally the same as before when they were. Short of banning all weapons and confiscating them, including police weapons, shootings will happen. And even then, they would probably still happen, just not as often. Since 2/3 of firearms deaths are suicides, better health care to include mental health coverage would help quite a bit in my opinion. Most crime and suicides are done by handguns not rifles or the even smaller subset that are defined as"assault weapons".
