Addressing mass shootings: Every idea on the table

I'd just like to see the media ratchet back their coverage of all mass killings. By the time the guest commentators - psychiatrists, former LEOs, politicians, special interest groups, etc, etc, have had their say, the POS killer, alive or dead, has been raised to martyr status.

Every right-thinking, gun-hating person knows that the only way a homicidal maniac can kill a lot of people is to use an AR-15 with a 1,000 round "clip", a "shoulder thing that goes up", and a bayonet lug. Any other weapon is out of the question.
Forget that "mass slash" in Japan with 19 stabbed to death. Those Sarin attacks were only a Japanese prank, like stink-bombs in American schools.
That home-made bomb in Oklahoma City was just some harmless mix of fuel oil and lawn fertilizer, common stuff you can find around anybody's home. Nothing at all dangerous, like a gun.
Of course, if we want the advantages of motor vehicles in our society then we must accept the risk of bloodthirsty truck drivers, who murder over 80 victims with a truck, like that “man-made disaster” that occurred in Nice, France. The vehicle jihadist attacks we are seeing more and more frequently are just coincidence, not “copycat” crimes. Pay them no mind.
Never mind the mass-murders by machete in Rwanda, or by arson, or the lethal combination of fireworks and pressure-cookers, or that of box-cutters and airplanes.
They are meaningless. Only guns can be used for mass murder.

The danger isn't the killer, it is his gun that we must fear. Take away his gun, and he'll be "right as rain".

we have good laws already. why can't we just enforce them better.? the writer did bring up an something that I'm a bit lost with. Charles whitman's pychc. knew of his dreams and such through their sessions. What part of Hippocratic Oath plays a part in that? From what I know of it that gets into a sticky minefield of legal and ethical problems. Devin Kelly's access to weapons was due to a clerical mistake by the AF.
