We have a mass shooting every day in the US.
Yep, and an average of 90 firearm deaths per day of every kind. This is what happens when you make firearms like candy and hand them out like candy.

Until we break the backs of the manufacture's marketing, I don't mean force them all out of business, but just like pharm cos are facing lawsuits over opiods, until we force them to stop their fear and macho marketing, they will continue to sell firearms like they do. And as long as the GOP congress keeps taking lobby money and NRA money, they will continue to protect the market which is causing all this.
This bad climate that allows all this was decades in the making, when the makers shacked up with the corruption of the NRA leadership in the late 70s. The last time the GOP did anything meaningful about firearm violence was the Brady Bill when Reagan and Brady got shot. But the greed of the industry and their profit lobby eroded all that over the decades.
