What about DV as a flag? Beau of the Fifth Column is big on that angle. Says 68% of mass shootings are connected in some way to DV (either prior, or current). Obviously you can only focus on the prior, but that might still be a decent net to cut down on this. No firearms for 5 years after a DV conviction (and while awaiting trial, if out on bail). Just a starting point suggestion.

Part 11i on the standard ATF Form 4473 clearly asks the purchaser: "Have you ever been CONVICTED in court of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence?"
If 68% of mass-shooters have prior/current DV *connections*, does this mean *convictions*? Because if not, they're probably getting sold the gun.

I don't know. It probably isn't convictions.
