I think the school shootings or mass shootings resonates with more people because it is random. They or their kids could be victims. Other shootings in the US tend to be gang or drug related so as long as they are not involved in those things they dont really need to worry about them. Having a gun at homes makes them feel safe from break ends. But people using guns at school makes people not feel safe. This is the reason that those type of shootings motivate more people than the common every day shootings that happen in big cities. I dont own any guns either and in general i am just not a fan of them. But from looking at other places with a similar culture and drug war which have banned guns I see no evidence that this makes any difference to criminals.Brazil has over 60k gun murders a year it has a population that is about the same size as the US. Other countries have other cultures and you can see that play out in other laws. For example. Heroin is just as illegal in Japan as it is Britain but Britain as a huge opium problem and Japan does not. The drug culture simply isn’t ripe in Japan. Why that is has a complex answer. On the flipside, even though it is illegal to not pay people for overtime work, this happens in Japan all the time. Workers must “volunteer” to work after hours for free, if not they will be replaced by someone who will. This is also illegal in the US but people are not working themselves to death, which literally happens in Japan. Generally although not perfectly, overtime work is given overtime pay or at least regular pay in the US. The point is just making something illegal or not doesn’t make the problem go away when there is a deep cultural issue at work so making crass comparisons on a single data point is asinine.

Also the US had the same guns in the 1980s yet only one school shooting and that was in 1989. All but one of these mass shootings has been done by a person who didn’t have a father in the home. This stat also has a majority correlation with regular gun murders. So maybe if we didn’t subsidize broken homes there would be fewer of them. I dont have enough information about that. I do think that the solution needs to be many changes about many things. Do we really need to dope kids up on psychotropic drugs are early as 3rd grade? Shouldn’t we have some red flags by now since these shooters have such similar profiles? Is the media sensationalism in their coverage looked at as a means in the eyes of a shooter to add significance to their death as all but three of these attackers killed themselves? What changed culturally so much between the 80s to now? Maybe it is all of these above, media hype, loner, no father, on SSRI drugs, and has access to a gun, no one sees the red flag. But yes gun control in my opinion should focus more on the daily shootings than on these rare events.
