How do you suffer by having to go through a more rigorous gun screening process or not having the ability to own high powered weapons designed for mass killing (not hunting, protection, etc.)?

There's already criminal background checks in place. Criminals still get guns. Fail #1. Fully auto weapons have been banned since 1986. No new ones are allowed. You can buy a pre-ban one but they require even further screening from the ATF, if they are acquired legally and they are really expensive. If people are bringing in fully auto weapons across the border, that's breaking existing law. So, let's build the wall. If someone illegally modified a semi-auto weapon to fire fully auto that is also against the law. But so is killing a bunch of people and the criminal who is willing to kill doesn't give a frick about the laws that they break.
