Easily the most exhausting conversation to have with my peers at uni. There is a proven solution that stops mass shootings we just don't want to stick with it because one super strong lobby doesn't want it.

TIghten the grip around gun ownership like they did in Australia and the UK. You can tell me that knife violence is up, and people will find new ways to commit violence. That is true people will always find new ways to commit acts of violence, but that is not the goal of legislation like that. The goal is to decrease the number of mass shootings which legislation like that has proven time and time again to actually do.
