UBC would not have helped. All of the murderers seem to have passed a background check. AWB, nope most of the killings were not "assault weapons. Many were with handguns and shotguns. Not even the Sandy Hook rife was an "assault weapon". Magazine limits, California has limits and the VA Tech shooter had low capacity magazines. Shall I go on......
So what NEW laws do you want that would PREVENT these murders?
I think single payer with strong mental health care would prevent most of them along with UBC that includes good mental health data.

armed security guards for protection are not the same as having every imbecile armed with guns
