There is a way to get your agenda. 2/3rd votes in the House and Senate followed by ratification by 3/4ths of State legislatures or by a convention of states called for by 2/3rds of state legislatures.
Your European style gun control laws cannot come into existence without that. CANNOT. You know this.
The practical action is to try to find ways to do things like keep mentally ill minors who threaten others and have firearms from having them and keep them from acting out and/or gaining access to places that they have threatened.
Or you can keep screaming for something that you KNOW you cannot get because you think it scores partisan political points and preys on emotional reactions to tragedy.

Perhaps if Facebook and Youtube weren’t so focused on censoring conservatives, they’d be quicker to shut down the bomb making groups that are allowed to operate and Cruz was a part of.

Maybe if we didn't have the ability for teenagers to legally have a gun collection like the shooter had, then maybe this wouldn't be such a problem.

Its not unconstitutional
1) to have a database with every gun in it
2) to enact mandatory minimum jail time for not registering the firearm
3) to hold gun owners strictly liable for the firearms
4) to tax guns and ammo
5) to require licensing and mental health evaluations for firearm ownership
None of these things require a constitutional amendment.

What guns were in his collection? what guns did he use?

The reports I’ve seen are saying he used 1 gun. What does a collection have to do with anything?
Re: Teenager — If you’re proposing we raise the age to legally own a gun from 18 to 21, and have some statistics to back it up, I’d entertain that idea.

I think you might want to take Alex Jones and Gateway Pundit with a grain of salt. They're always going to claim its one of the anti-Trumpers. Every single time. No vetting happens with them.
And by Syrian resistance groups, that could mean anything, including following groups that support Assad/Putin. Or just another gun nut with too many guns following groups because he gets his rocks off by gunplay.
Exactly what is a teenager doing with a gun collection?

He’ll disappear.
Fyi, gateway pundit has screenshots of the accounts in question. They have since been deactivated.

It means nothing. White nationalists have killed more. The key is how do we stop males who are right wing from using firearms to kill lots of people AND non-right wing males from using firearms to kill lots of people.
Seriously, if say, 1% of mass shootings ae by non-right wingers, and Gateway Pundit and Infowars automatically accuse whomever the shooter is of being a liberal or a Muslim, the might be correct 1% of the time or so. But it doesn't validate their 'reporting'. BTW, Gateway actually named the wrong person in the Las Vegas incident.
Most likely, this dude just got off on gun violence.

They're now saying the shooter was a former student and someone who a lot of other students knew was a bit unhinged?
I don't know if we need TSA-type entrances into schools, or maybe a minimum of 2-3 full time school policemen and women at every decent sized high school? I know my kids school of almost 3000 students has that many cops on campus at all times. Unfortunately or fortunately I guess, they're mostly used for traffic control.
What we need is to stop teaching kids to hate society and the world and stop encouraging mental illness and glorifying suicide.

Then we need to raise the age of adulthood to 21 as well as ban military service.

Apparently, this kid was a KNOWN problem. All kinds of kids at the school saying everyone talked about this for a while, "He's gonna shoot up the school" being a common quote. That's not a gun problem. That a social discipline problem. That means people have known this kid has issues and nobody in the HOME or PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM have had the balls and/or LEGAL capability to do something about it. He was 19 years old, and recently expelled from school. THOSE are the real issues. An America with no RESPONSIBILITY and REPERCUSSIONS for actions leads to this BS. There are families out there tonight dealing with a loss of a young family member because this kid's parents, community, and the education system don't actually deal with issues appropriately. The kid made threats of killing people last year and their response to teachers was "don't allow him on school grounds with a book bag." WTF. Seriously, WTF. That kid needed to be in juvenile detention at the LEAST (if not adult jail) for communicating threats, but no... we'll just say "don't let him on school grounds with a book bag" and that will solve the issue.
This is NOT a gun issue, it's a social responsibility issue to deal with the asshats of society that are incapable of living real life with the rest of us normal thinking humans that don't resort to killing someone because they're upset at something.
