It doesn't take a lot of planning to kill 30.

It's also a hell of a lot harder to go nuts and knife to death 30 people in that short of a time period.

If you want to play with a gun like a fuckshit, you can do it in a place with people as equally stupid as you are. Let the gun be kept at the gun range or at a hunting armory out of the city, and make it a crime punishable by death to let an insane person get one.

Have a gun buyback program as was done in areas of Africa after the bloody post-colonial wars. They were administered by the UN and gave people good useful shit in exchange for a gun.

iPhones for guns. That would end it right there.

No massive raids needed.
