Again, it's been made apparent that the shooter had mental health issues. Mental health and background checks, how fucking hard is it Murica?
Very, given guns are freely bought and sold at flea markets in America. A major, painful cultural shift will need to occur before any progress on ensuring only responsible people can own a gun in that country can be achieved.
side note -
A plethora of very serious animal abuse/neglect cases have been hitting the American media lately too; although not gun related, upon analyzing the cases together, I see an interesting trend of sociopathic behaviour emerging.

They're broke. That's why. There has been a move to bankrupt the lower classes and consolidate money at the higher class. It's obvious. More and more people are having to do with less money: at home, at institutions, in the medical system-everywhere. There are going to be repercussions of that.
On gun control: I think they need to work on some of the access issues, but for the most part, the cat is out of the bag. There are already functional prototypes of 3D printed, functional guns. You can now print them out at home. Besides, there are already huge amounts of weapons out there. I think the latest swipe on gun control is bound to fail.

There was a single case of somebody printing a lower (read: a single part) for an AR-15, and it blew up after fifteen rounds. Keep in mind, the lower is not the part that takes the most force, and it blew up.
You can't build a lot of the parts from 3d printed plastic, so the theory that you can print an accurate, safe gun is absurd. Metal parts in guns are metal for a reason. In addition, any prototype weapon made completely from a printer is just that, a prototype, something that CEO's can see and approve before making the parts in metal.
