Sadly, I see no solution to this at all. From what has been discussed prior, this is the conclusion I came to:
1. There is no law across the US that requires paperwork, background checks, etc before buying a firearm and no enforcement.
2. There is no way of knowing if a weapon is registered, no way of verifying and requiring that the owners are trained in its use and safe storage.
Until the above 2 points become reality, mass killing and accidental deaths will continue. Because guns are so accessible to everyone, it feels as though the only way to keep one's family safe is to outgun the criminal.
