That's what I keep saying - this isn't a matter of "banning assault rifles". We need better health care to ID these people, restrictions on who can have firearms, and better legal so that when someone is charged with a violent crime they stay in the prison until they die.
Take someone's life with a firearm or a hammer (or a spoon for that matter) and you spend the rest of your life in prison. And never ever get out.
