re: There is nothing wrong with the 2nd amendment. People defending it, terribly flawed

But on a more general note the penalties for engaging in illegal buying and selling of guns could be made more severe. That's fairly straight forward and you're not making any additional action illegal. Just making the sentencing more harsh.

But how would that reduce school shootings? Nearly every single one of these happen because the kid illegal possess a gun that was legally purchased.

I think parents should be held criminally responsible if an act by their child is committed using their gun. This of course is more of a state by state issue.

Again, how would that reduce these shootings? And to what degree to we want to hold parents responsible if they engage in absolutely no criminal negligence.

I'm not trying to be stubborn but I've found the problem with this entire discussion is that no one from either side can point to some legislative action that would have any chance of reducing the frequency of these shootings.
