JG, I don't know how new laws could do that unless perhaps in less restrictions of gun controls in some ways, or make the existing restrictions more focused where they will likely do more good. These are questions we don't have good answers for but that doesn't mean we should stop looking for them. As I have tried to say before which seems to be ignored here, I am NOT in favor of restrictive gun controls but am in favor of us stopping being stupid about the problem. We are wasting time tossing out the same old stale BS arguments and need to wise up somehow. No, guns in and of themselves are NOT necessarily the root of the problem but their availability to those with criminal intent and/or psychopathic problems sure seems to be a factor.

My OPINION is that there is probably enough good data available to determine to a significant degree who many at risk people are and do what is possible to prevent weapons from getting in their hands.
