I agree completely, there isn't anything you can do to prevent someone who wants a weapon from getting one, no matter what country you live in, no matter the laws.
The school shooting would still have occured (especially as some apparently believe, that the government did it), the aurora shooting would still have occured, as would have others.
There is no gun related solution that is going to just get rid of mass shootings, but that doesn't mean it's not a solid idea to make it more difficult for known felons to get weapons.
I'd rather felons have to do something criminal to get a gun (beyond the fact it's not legal for them to have one), than to just buy it from a gunshow without answering any questions.
