FortWayne, I'll happily ask for the same regulations to become a driver be applied to a fire-arms owner. You game? Don't think our liscening and enforcement of automobile use isn't greatly contributing to safety on the roads. It is!
You will never be able to remove all sources of lunacy and murder from the American society, especially a society which is relatively free. The point isn't to stop all sources of potential murder. The point is to reasonably protect people within the balance of personal freedoms.
- Universal backgrounds checks ... overwhelmingly desired by the American population.
- Next up, periodic demonstration of mental capacity and responsibility of ownership/use, just like we do for driving. Mental health can fade/change and we have very little removing firearms from people when it occurs.

You have to demonstrate an ability (physical and mental) to drive and obey rules of the road in order to operate a car. Result: all drivers are meeting some modicum of ability to be a driver on the road in the USA.
Police continually enforce rules of the road and pull over cars demonstrating behaviors outside the norms of the expected. Result: unfit drivers are forced to re-test, school, or have their licenses revoked.
This is ensuring a base level of competency on the road, which is protecting all drivers and pedestrians using the public streets.
How soon ban on cars?
1. There aren't mass killings with cars happening all the time. The very rarity of this incident disproves your false equivalency.
2. The sole purpose of a car is not to kill people. The sole purpose of a gun is killing.
3. Cars should be banned. They should be replaced by privately owned maglift vehicles. Unfortunately that's not going to happen, but something close will, which brings us to...
4. Driving should and will be banned, eventually. Humans won't be legally allowed to drive a car or possess a car that is capable of being manually driven once self-driving cars become mainstream. This is a great thing. No more drunk drivers, sleepy drivers, teen drivers, aggressive drivers, women drivers, road rage, distracted drivers, etc. Now if you want a computer-controlled gun that you cannot manually fire and that fully complies with all laws and won't kill anyone who isn't threatening someone else's life, well, you can have that.

I'll support disarming American citizens... right after the wealthy elites disarm themselves, a constitutional Amendment is passed which strictly forbids American or UN soldiers from using weapons on or killing/detaining civilians, and police and criminals give up their guns.

No reason why Islamic terrorists can't use a car instead of their usual truck.
Let's just make gun ownership mandatory with free training and mental screening and if you opt out or fail you have to pay a tax for all of the other people that have to carry your weight. Now if you believe in fairy tales that instruct to kill nonbelievers, which is an obvious breach to the public peace, you are not allowed a gun and have to pay a tax.
There aren't mass killings with guns happening all the time. False equivalency.

Target practice is a purpose of a gun.
another false equivalency.

You have not one iota of proof driving will be banned at all.

Maybe this will by the guy's defense.
Car is a weapon, clearly should require background checks. It's way too easy to license and buy.
Also ban driving in the open, concealed require permit.
This is to stop senseless killing by popular weapon of choice.
