Idealistically, sure, having zero guns in America (including police) would bring mass shootings down to near-zero.
Since that is not possible, I think not making outcast losers feel like heroes to their kindred souls when they waste their schoolmates and incentivize them to top their death count numbers would have a greater impact, but you're the shrink, so I'm open to being persuaded.
One could argue that social media is the bigger issue. When I was a kid, people got bullied at school and that was it - 3PM they had the rest of the night off. Today, it's 24/7 bullying and two-parent homes working.
Do I think there needs to be tighter gun laws? Yes, for sure.
