1. How do you identify the people who should not have firearms?
2. How do you deny them the right to legally own them?
3. How do you prevent them from getting firearms illegally?
Notes on the above:
1. Some calls are simple (Manson) but many of these people who go on rampages are pretty normal up to that point.
2. Taking away someone's rights based on comments by others (neighbors, ex-girlfriends, etc.) is risky. People who write about murder (Alfred Hitchcock, Ed Poe, Steve King) are not necessarily planning to do it.
3. Look how commonplace illegal drugs are in this country. Obtaining guns illegally would be (or already is) just as common. Gangs don't arm themselves legally, by going through background checks, etc. More gun control laws won't hinder them one bit. In fact, it will make their gun selling activities that much more lucrative.
