Every time we think the latest tragedy might garner the political will to change something, nothing happens. This will be no different.

We?
I haven't entertained this thought since Sandy Hook.
There is no amount of murdered children that will make gun enthusiasts blink.

California has the strictest gun laws in the US. They passed legislation a few weeks ago that bans owning any Glock handguns in the state (unless you're a cop, of course) that goes into effect Jan 1, 2026. AR-15s and all other so called "assault weapons" have been banned for years. Plus, it's still illegal to shoot people. What else do you think needs to happen?

Better border control. Oh wait, California is not a country, so focusing on it's state laws is misleading when it's part of a country that has quite lax gun laws in some parts.

The hyperbolic response is "look at what all the countries without weekly/daily mass shooting are doing and copy them"
In reality it'd need to be something culturally systemic, the removal of guns as a cultural touchstone over generations, with laws slowly applied to back up that effort.
Address the root causes of this kind of violence, quality of life, poverty, mental health in general, Provide mental health support and improve conditions so that less support is needed.
and that'd only be scratching the surface.
To address your specific response, banning guns outright probably would bring these numbers down and if these specific numbers going down was the ultimate (and only) goal then that would make sense, but in reality there would probably be significant issues cause by such a move.
Not to say it isn't viable, just that it's not clear cut.

evidently, more
-
- actually enforce the law, once it's in effect
- offer incentives to return owned weapons

South park really did, sadly, hit the nail on the head with this one.

The Sandy Hook shooting happened and nothing changed. So sad.

Has anyone else noticed how the national media latched on to the phrase “mass shooting” as a way to get clicks?
They realized how many people will click on anything labeled “mass shooting,” and adjusted accordingly. If it bleeds, it leads.
-
are you referring to this article as an example? because doesn't this article fit the bill? over a dozen people injured, four dead
sure there's maybe an argument over the threshold for duration of the event, but that's surely enough victims, yeah?

"Nothing we can do to prevent this." says only nation where this regularly happens.
that sort of shooting happens all the time in other countries
