So, why not focus on a solution that doesn’t take away someone else’s constitutional rights? This recent parkland shooting proves that there are plenty of places for improvement in he area of stopping some fairly obvious potential shooters without stopping every citizen from owning certain types of firearms. Another potential solution has two benifits. It’s that we end the four years of high school (since so many of these shootings take place here). Instead give everyone scholarships with the money. Highshools don’t teach much that’s useful and most of what is taught that’s useful are in underfunded shop classes. After all few of these shootings seem to be happening on college campuses, the majority are high school. Plus, we’d have a much more skilled workforce and considering the amounts of teen depression that are centered around school, a much happier workforce as well.

What position are YOU talking from? An ex-student or a current student?
As a ex-student (gradulated with a 3.2 GPA) I can conform that high school is NOT useless and actually taught me a lot of life skills.
Then again, that was 10 years ago.
I mean, as a JD student, I can confirm that I learned more from my parents and work experience than I learned in high school or even undergraduate studies. Your mileage may vary, of course.

I can't think of a process that respects due process and prevents firearm purchases without substantiating factual findings beyond a reasonable doubt.
