The texas and Oklahoma shootings were done with legally-purchased guns that were almost immediately used as designed. As a news article said, it's easier to purchase AR-15's than sudafeds. So, reducing the availability of legal weaponry will have some positive impact on the scale of casualties. It might also reduce the number of accidental or suicide deaths as it's harder with lower-lethality weaponry.
It would not impact the 2nd amendment rights to limit the high-end/military style weaponry to some degree. But nothing will be done until there is a sufficient societal change to even consider such restrictions. Won't see that in my lifetime. Hell, some kind of waiting period or red flag law would help.

- jleyank 4y agoI was discussing us alternatives, but go ahead and play word games. I’ve lived in both countries and have a handle on the respective governmental structures. I know it’s impossible to have some limit where people will change their behaviour re guns in the us. People will just have to live (or not live) with it.
