I think any gun store owner who refuses to sell guns to a person deemed at high risk risk being charged with violating that potential purchaser's civil rights.

Gun laws work. Only the NRA says they don't work and they pay the politicians to say they don't work.

Texas is becoming an apartheid State, white are now the minority but control 70% of the vote.

Governor Gregg Abbott is a symbol of white resistance, he will not be replaced. Baeto O'Rourke can rant all he wants, he stands no chance of defeating the incumbent. In a fair election in 2019, he most certainly would have beaten Ted Cruz, gerrymandering is awesome. Now Abbott has to put a public face on this tragedy, of course behind the scenes he's very happy. 19 dead in a Hispanic district, better to decrease the surplus "wetback" population. No thoughts and prayers for you!

How long white hegemony lasts in Texas remains to be seen. Dallas is the financial capital of the state, the city elected a black Mayor.

Other countries have mental health issues but no mass shootings. And, as noted, Republicans oppose/block funding for mental health support.
Last 2 mass killings were done despite good guys with guns on scene to confront killer.

Other ideas?

The first would be extremely paranoid, intrusive, and expensive. The other would just be politically inconvenient for politicians who get big donations from the gun industry.

But I guess heavily armed police at every door portrays the right image for the GOP's America (and they can shoot anyone in the school who hints at systemic racism or there are gay people).
Yawn. You'll get nowhere regurgitating lefty talking points.

What does white hegemony have to do with a hispanic kid killing 19 other hispanic people?

Kimmel can afford armed security detail. The same goes for Biden and others condemning gun ownership.

It shouldn't be something that only the rich and powerful have access to for protection.

They should set an example by relinquishing all of their security teams. No guns for thee, then no guns for me.
