Mass shootings have become just as American as apple pie starting with the Texas Tower Massacre in 1966. I don't see mass shootings diminishing until the 2nd Amendment is repealed or changed in some way, which is highly doubtful. I don't see an incident even worse than the Las Vegas one as able to change things. Because of the 2nd Amendment, a number of states, including Oklahoma, can't do so much as pass Red Flag laws. 2nd Amendment supporters would probably just tell you that mentally ill people making threats are more prone to attracting harmful violence and need their guns to protect themselves.
It's still regarded as an utter disgrace to be mentally ill, so we can't do much about mental health care, either. Instead, it's far more important to concentrate on getting gender affirming treatment for minors banned from state to state. But minors affected are still left with what some doctors feel is a serious mental disorder, which may lead to suicide.
