We could start with stopping to sensationalize the people who commit the shooting. Condemn them to anonymity and future would-be shooters will realize that going out in a blaze of glory leaves them without any notoriety at all.
Something that should be read by 2nd Amendment nuts is Scalia's paragraph below taken directly from Scalia majority opinion in District of Columbia v Heller.
To wit: (bold and underlining are mine)
"...
Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. From Blackstone through the 19th-century cases, commentators and courts routinely explained that the right was not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose. See, e.g., Sheldon, in 5 Blume 346; Rawle 123; Pomeroy 152–153; Abbott333. For example, the majority of the 19th-century courts to consider the question held that prohibitions on carrying concealed weapons were lawful under the Second Amendment or state analogues. See, e.g., State v. Chandler, 5 La. Ann., at 489–490; Nunn v. State, 1 Ga., at 251; see generally 2 Kent *340, n. 2; The American Students’ Blackstone 84, n. 11 (G. Chase ed. 1884). Although we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis today of the full scope of the Second Amendment, nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.[Footnote 26]

I'm sure there are some percentage who do it for the fame.
Its really a big problem in the black community.
Just like Chicago. When it is black on black crime, nobody cares. None of the Democrats speak up against it because it runs against their narrative of whites killing blacks. What happened to BLM activists? Again, no monies, no glory for them. It has to be a cop and he has to be white for BLM activists and other black leaders to care. Now, they will play the racism case on top of it. Majority of those attacking, hurting and even killing Asians are mostly, black men. Again, crickets as Asians are expendable except, during elections when Democrats want their votes. Not to worry, Asians as a group, overwhelmingly, vote Democrat. Go figure that one out.
Its really a big problem in America.No other first world nation has the gun violence that The US has,with any race.

Yes, and the prohibitions and laws on carrying firearms in sensitive places sure seems to be working. Bravo.
If criminals followed laws, we could legislate a fix (or we already would have).
Perhaps it would be a good idea for you, in your spare time, to take a course in basic statistics.
