Aren't there already heavy penalties? Have there been any mass shooters that haven't been "adequately" punished?
My whole thing is that I do believe that "gun control" would result in less gun related deaths... but it wouldn't stop psychos from killing people. It's been shown time and time again that you don't need a gun to kill 10+ people.
I also don't think that we're at the point where we trust our government to the point of surrendering our best/final line of defense. I feel any sort of "gun ban" or "gun control" would be irreversible, certainly irreversible at any point it's needed most.

In what scenario do you see the military successfully occupying or holding control of the country for any significant period of time while the citizens are armed?
