Yeah, you treat the symptom, but in an effective way. It's called mass shooting, because so many people die, when guns are involved. You do not have this, if there is someone trying the same with a knife. Banning guns is a band aid during the time necessary to fix the underlying problem.

It's also impossible given the state of partisan gridlock and the constitutional amendment necessary.

Fortunately, actually solving problems here is far simpler than asinine bans.

There will still be kids slipping through. They also say it themselves:

Too often in politics it becomes an either-or proposition. Gun control or mental health. Our research says that none of these solutions is perfect on its own. We have to do multiple things at one time and put them together as a comprehensive package. People have to be comfortable with complexity and that’s not always easy.
