So as mentioned there are only two variables; shooters and guns and only one we can do something about.

I realize as I am writing this that I'm talking to someone who thinks that free college and single-payer are actually practicable so I have no expectation of making a dent in your POV, nonetheless I point out that there ain't much prospect of more than a tad of mitigation on the gun front, either.

Japan has almost no guns and as few as a 100 shooting deaths a year

As I have mentioned hereabouts on other topics (including the Iranian nuke treaty), there is a difference between strategy to avoid a problem and strategy once the problem already exists. We no longer have the option of addressing the problem as a country with no guns in circulation and no history of gun use.
