The long term future is probably this: We either control guns or we control people.
The latter prospect is scary 50 years out: would mean something like every person has a computer chip implanted in them with brain monitoring that registers undue stress or instability or hateful feelings.
A troublesome signal would mean the thought police come and take that person into custody for evaluation. To assess whether they might commit a heinous act with the rapid fire guns that will be readily available everywhere in this society.
I don't think most people want to go anywhere near this future.
Far easier to control weapons than to try to predict and control the behavior of each one of the 350-400 million people we will have in the U.S.
