Trouble is, gun ownership is protected as a right by the 2nd, 5th, and 9th amendments to the constitution. They're not going anywhere. Especially, as you note, since they didn't go anywhere when our kids got shot up. As it stands, it's a politically expensive party shibboleth that the right palpably encourages the left to run on, knowing that it costs them and they have no hope of success in that regard.
It's certainly true that the mere existence of legal rights make any number of potentially dangerous scenarios inevitable, and not at all limited to guns. I don't think that the solution to that problem is to get rid of legal rights. We have an extensive body of gun laws just sitting there on the books, waiting to be enforced. Maybe we can try that.
"The family has already suffered enough" is no way to regulate firearms.
