So we don't do invasive psych evals on everyone, just those who want a dangerous gun bad enough to go through one, and pay for it.
Buybacks, in stages, of all the dangerous guns out there. Get people used to the idea by first just going after the really scary-looking war-style guns.

I don't have a more workable solution to offer, but this sure sounds Elitist.
Like a poverty tax, or prove your financial worth just to vote. You're only represented in congress, or the legal system, if you have enough resources to be connected.
It just doesn't appeal to me. The Brat-Boy who got fired from his upper bank job, probably would have had his 'war weapon' legally, so even the money angle wouldn't stop mass shootings.
