It just seems like rather than focusing on: How come loughner did not get the psychiatric help he probably needed?
We're focusing on guns as the problem....
When purchasing a regulated firearm (pistol, scary looking guns), Maryland has a system that authorizes the Maryland State Police to conduct a background check in to your mental health records (basically the State's ATF). Although I'm unsure of the efficacy of such system, I think it's a step in the right direction--so long as it didn't impose undue burden on individuals seeking to acquire firearms.
