Obviously gun control is necessary, but that's not going to happen. The NRA bought the Republican party, and its brain dead voters are too stupid to realize that they've been manipulated.
What should be easier to achieve is dedicating attention, resources, and compassion toward mental health. This kind of horrific violence only occurs in the US. Of course, most Americans have never been more than 100 miles away from where they were born let alone overseas. Many Americans are ignorant, isolated, and undeservedly "proud" because they have no context and no worldly experience.
The modern age has created anonymity and isolation unlike any other time in human history. People who are lonely and unknown sometimes react with violence. Consequences don't deter desperation. If people looked up from their phones and computer screens every once in a while to notice the people around them, offer them kindness, and observe if they seem disturbed, we might start to restore humanity in the human condition.
