That's on the surface of a political basis. I too would want less mass shootings but basic human rights already compensates to that of which these mass murders must go to federal court and suffer punishment.
Could you perhaps have a defined draft on what your tighter gun control and regulations offer?

I am not in the best position to actually draft a proposed regulation, but it should include more screenings and background checks for one.

Correlating highest guns per person in US info, relaxed gun controls, and many mass shootings is a reasonable indication that we have an issue.
where is your evidence that stricter gun controls will not help?

Secondly, to reiterate my statement in my original response, criminals don't follow the law. LAWS HAVE NO IMPACT ON CRIMINALS. More restrictions on firearms only hurts law-abiding citizens, not criminals. Have you ever considered why so many shootings happen in gun free zones? The shooter knows they're attacking unarmed victims. By allowing citizens to freely exercise their constitutional rights, there would be less shootings because it's more of a risk to open fire in an area that consists of other armed individuals.
You can't fix a problem by putting more restrictions on the people who aren't even a part of the problem.

Woukd you then fully support to abolish all gun restrictions and screening? If you argue that laws don't matter for criminals then why take any precautionary measures on anything or have any regulations at all?

On the same note, less guns in the hands of civilians and ALL of them in the hands of government, (which is responsible for more deaths than any other entity on the whole wide plane) is a police state/Orwellian takeover waiting to happen. It's why we wrote the constitution.

Look at it like the Syrian Red Line. Does it really matter whether or not children are being slaughtered by sarin gas or shot? Oh, good, they were only gut shot. That's not so bad! I thought they had been gassed. What a relief!
Taking guns away or limiting guns doesn't solve murder, it just forces murderous people to find a different way to do it. Like buy guns illegally. Build a bomb. Use knifes. Or swords, like the Yakuza. (I guess) Poison gas can be made using any number of common household chemicals. You could bludgeon someone with a rock. Or your fist. And laws don't prevent crime. They only provide a baseline for where society will attempt to punish evil after the fact.
We don't need restrictions on methods, the root of the problem is murderous intent. Societal reform of this sort only comes from reforming the hearts of those in the society. And that only comes through God changing your heart.
