At least 48 people have been shot in Chicago since Friday evening, including a 5-year-old boy. Five were killed.
The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.
Just to note- Ya'll are aware that lots of people make their own ammo right?
There was a shortage of components (primers, I believe) a few years ago, and a LOT of people went to this method.
I don't think many folks would consider it a deterrent for a tax to be implemented, but just food for thought.
Your run of the mill psychopath likely won't go to this measure though.

Not sure that anyone of consequence has advocated prohibiting guns.
Also not sure you know what the word "prohibit" means

I know it’s hard to tell on the Internet, but this is an earnest question for you: given that jurisprudence around guns for most of our history mostly contains a reading of “bearing arms” quite different than is currently in vogue, that this jurisprudence mostly didn’t change until the last 30-40 years (along with public opinion), and that the individual right was only affirmed (one might say “discovered”) in 2008, is it fair to ask in this case who the “judicial activists” are?
It’s an important question to me, because the historical context is—or should be—an important part of the debate.
There are plenty of people from all races, creeds, religions, and genders that are acting stupid, so I don't have a problem calling "stupid" stupid. But taking the long view of history, I'm having a difficult time reconciling "white" (or Western civilization) and wide-scale victimhood. But there's enough lunacy to go around. Caucasians certainly don't comprise that entire realm.
That might be because the El Paso shooting was directly motivated by racist sentiment that harmonized Trump’s/nativist right rhetoric on immigration. He spelled it out in as many words, so it seems to pretty obviously be an act of terrorism. To my knowledge, there is no identified ideological bent to the shooting in Dayton. That seems fairly self-evident, no?

Another shooter captured in a Wal-Mart parking lot loading his gun. Police caught him before he finished, and he was apprehended peacefully.
I suppose I don't think it matters what the precedents are when we are talking about how it should be applied.
The 10th Amendment makes it very clear that the Bill of Rights is not about granting rights to citizens, it is simply recognizing them, and setting limits for government. In that view, I believe that every one of the BoR amendments should be applied in the way that restricts government the most, and citizens the least.
Now, I've said here before that I think we need changes in gun laws. Thirty round detachable magazines seems extreme to me, and we need to find a way to screen for mentally ill effectively, and we need an effective mechanism for family, school staff, employers, etc to report dangerously disturbed people.
There's more but I think those are things we can get 80ish percent of the populace to agree on. But I do not believe any law making those changes is constitutional, nor do I believe that any law limiting any ownership of any weapon is constitutional. That doesn't mean I want my neighbor to own a tank, or the Koch brothers to own a nuke. I absolutely believe we should have some restrictions, I just think think the only constitutional way to have them is to amend or replace the Second Amendment.
And I believe everyone should feel that way because of the slippery slope I've outlined earlier today. I really can't believe more people aren't concerned with that with the accusations of judicial activism by both sides.

There doesn't seem to be much to tiptoe around in his case, he was just an evil bastard. Dude kept two lists in high school, one of male classmates he wanted to kill, and another of female classmates he wanted to rape. He's been having these fantasies for at least 5 or 6 years.
