What we need is a reform of present policies i.e. the government obfuscating statistical trending data on gun behavior & the FBI only having three days to make a decision on gun warrants when they are 'on the fence' about whether or not the purchaser is a threat to society are flawed laws that have been implemented. We haven't had a director for The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives for seven years because Senate Republicans have blocked the White House's attempts to name a new director of the bureau.
I agree, adding more rules on top of rules that arent either being enforced, taken seriously, or help the problem, is just a bad infrastructure to build off of. A good start is a more scrutinizing background check, however even with that, incidents, specifically this one, could not be avoided.
