I think I can defend my position. I see gun control as the whole story for two reasons: 1) There is no way to have an impact on the shooters. We simply do not have the ability to ascertain who is going to go off next and even when we suspect it, there is no legal or practical way to prevent it. After the fact they always talk about how weird the person was, but we do not arrest people for being weird or even talking about violence. How can we? So as mentioned there are only two variables; shooters and guns and only one we can do something about. 2) Rhetorical: Why are we the only country on earth to that has this problem? That is the $64 dollar question, except we KNOW WHY! PS Japan has almost no guns and as few as a 100 shooting deaths a year---we have 33,000! And they are a stressful nation. <<The pundits are still doing it, including the liberals i.e. concentrating on the shooter. He is immaterial and they do not see that. The whole story should be how to limit access to guns. You are conflating requirements and design--problem with solution. The requirement is to obviate mass murder. Limiting access to guns is one potential design approach. It is definitely not "the whole story." Just saying...
