I don't buy that because I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that things CAN be done.
In this particular case ban all devices intended to enhance the rate of fire above factory standards. Limit magazine capacity to ten rounds or less. Pass California standards for interchangeable magazine guns.
To prevent the majority of the other almost daily mass shootings institute permit to purchase with background checks at LEO level. Confiscate guns from domestic abusers and from people under protective orders.
Really want to get serious? Ban the manufacture, import, sale or transfer of any semi automatic firearm with interchangeable magazines. Institute a searchable electronic registration of every gun and its owner.
There's more, like Australia style classifications and bans and a one time buy back offer.
None of this would violate the second under the Heller decision.
Its a matter of will. And public outrage. You can only poke the bear so many times before he wakes up.
