Instead of arguing about who does it, why don’t why try to find out what they all have in common: WHY this is happening in the first place? And then use it to fix the situation? Is it parental absence? Social rejection? Mental illness? Too much violence? 15 minutes of fame? Abuse

they've all got guns in common but nobody seems to want to do anything about that

Lots of other countries allow citizens to own guns. You only hear about mass shootings in the US. Why? Guns alone don’t kill people. The wrong people with guns kill people. Unless we stop this from happening this will never change.

"The wrong people with guns kill people" so you agree that we should have stricter restrictions on who can own guns to ensure the wrong people don't get them?

We need to put responsibility where responsibility is due: if your kid kills because they had access to your gun, you should be partially liable for it, for starters.

Absolutely, but that's a rather low bar. We can also hold people liable for not securing their guns properly before their kid kills someone. But oh, that'd require them to know how to, so we'd have to require some education before people can buy guns wouldn't we?

people take drivers tests to get their license and still go out and speed, drive drunk and otherwise kill people on the roads, while i agree totally with gun safety classes i doubt it would make as big an impact as we would hope.
