In the end, the solution will be to just ban most firearms and make it nearly impossible to get one outside of specific circumstances. It’s the same way gun violence was stopped in every country, and the rhetoric against that is the same broken record for 30+ years.
Eventually, the concept of a “right to mass-murder/terrorism” will self-destruct, no matter how deeply embedded it is in legal the system. Even the constitution will eventually self-destruct if it gets too far away from meeting the necessities of modern life, something it is well on the path to doing so. So it’s time to stop pretending there is a trick solution to the problem, and start recognizing the problem exactly as it is.
Bingo. Give everyone a safety net in terms of mental health and finances and I’m convinced the vast majority of our problems go away. Even topics outside of this one.

In countries with gun ownership but low socioeconomic class differences and universal healthcare, gun violence is low.

Yeah, but guns scary and sweeping socioeconomic changes sound complicated. Can’t we just ban the scary things?
