If it turns out that videogames make only 1% of gamers more violent (especially lonely, bullied, socially dysfunctional ones), and end up being a decisively contributing factor in 50% of school shootings, should they be regulated?
You seem to identify structural problems of US society as moral problems, and you are possibly looking for moral answers. This will usually not work. The question of whether violent computer games can trigger adolescents with serious mental health issues is unrelated to morality.

Isn't it the other way around? The structural problem being the US constantly cutting funds for healthcare/psychiatry since 70s & having profit oriented prisons? And the moral answer is banning guns/media, while other nations with guns and violent media lack these killing sprees.

School shootings are quite unrelated to prisons. US schools tend to have psychological counsellors etc. (more so than German schools), and pay a lot of attention to possible shooters. Availability of guns is a problem, but the general answer may be more complicated.
