A lot of good points made in here recently.
There is no real blanket solution, because "someone else will".

Plenty of illegal substances out there that I can get my hands on without issue.
No matter what you guys do to make specific laws regarding gun specification allowed per age, people are still going to get their hands on ghost guns.

We just had a mass shooting here in Philly. I saw some videos, it literally just looks like a typical night in North Philly.

Those that want it will get it and it will still be easy for them to get.

Growing up, I worked at a beer distributor.
You have to be 21 to buy alcohol.
Every weekend, there were many parties that were well supplied with alcohol.
People find a way.
The crap that happened during prohibition is what I anticipate would happen if every single gun was made illegal today.

I do think an approach of improving the US in general will lead to solving gun problems.
No, there won't be a Maury equivalent therapist sitting on each corner to handle problems in the 'hood.

I don't have some end all be all solution, but I do think that 18 year old kids should not be able to get their hands on high capacity semi-autos. I'm down for a waiting period & background check on the buyers dime. I do like Mav1178's tiered leveling program for unlocking weapons as you grow older, but it all falls back into how people will get around it to get what they want anyway.
