Until America realises and admits it has a social problem nothing will change and putting all the blame onto firearms isn't the answer they have had millions of firearms owners in the U.S for over 100 hundred years it's only the last three decades where this has become a problem.
That said I do think at the very least before you can purchase a firearm you should have to prove you have secure storage for it and that's not a massive expectation to have.

Really, it's only been a problem in the last thirty years, was the wild west just a myth? Spree killing might have become a phenomenon since the early sixties but that is nearly half the hundred years you mention. I don't know what it'll take to cut these incidents down but it's looking to me like they're not inclined to even make a start on addressing the issues.

That's what they do, to quote Hugh

Texas school had a shooting plan, armed officers and practice. And still 10 people died.
SANTA FE, TEX. — They, like so many others, thought they had taken the steps to avoid this.
The school district had an active-shooter plan, and two armed police officers walked the halls of the high school.
