Gun laws are fine the way they are. Homicide is illegal and and so are most drugs yet people still do both. What needs to happen is a revamp of our mental health system. Reagan closed most mental institutions and did not replace them with anything. Now the mentally ill walk the streets as homeless people or end up in prison.  We need secure facilities for the severely mentally ill and the courts need to allow the system to force people who need medication to make them sane take it or go back into a mental home. Its very hard to get someone committed these days.
