I've been thinking about whether violent video games cause mass shootings. Personally, I don't buy it. But if we regulate games, proponents will see firsthand there's no link, THEN we can try actual gun control. How might this look in practice? Total ban? Stricter buying rules?

Basically this. Video games are so commonplace these days that saying they're a major root cause is like saying that shoes are a major root cause, cause almost everyone wears them.
-
That's my thought as well, but it's extremely hard to prove that violent people AREN'T motivated by video games. (Proving a negative is hard in any case.) You could easily make an argument that even if most people are immune, it's unacceptable to motivate even that small number.

I mean, what are the common scapegoats? At present, it seems like video games... are people still mad at metal music? Anyway, start restricting them piecemeal until there's nothing left but guns, and people will be forced to admit their error.
-
And how long will this take? How many shootings are we going to have during that time? Do you think, after seeing the last year, two years, four years, ten years of the group responsible for defending guns, that they are the kind to "admit their error" for any reason?
