What gun control policies do any of you propose or advocate that would have prevented any of the recent mass shootings?

Beyond that, strict liability on the seller of every weapon for any crime committed with the gun would also work. That and make every gun owner carry a $5m liability policy in order to own a gun. The the civil liability system will internalize the horrific external costs of guns that are presently borne by governments and the random victims, and roll them into the price of gun ownership. When the price of the gun starts including the costs of all the crime, additional law enforcement, and individual violence, people will probably rethink their need fir guns because their cost will skyrocket without the current “subsidies” that externalities g those costs give gun owners and manufacturers.
