One thing is clear with regard to gun violence: no single solution... no silver bullet... exists.

However, there are many partial solutions which in combination could go a long way toward drastically reducing the incidents of gun violence.

1.  If you have kids, you might not want to have firearms in your house.

2.  Foot patrols by police officers, that take them through schools and other public venues, could discourage some wanna-be mass murderers.  There is evidence that this step wouldn't even cost any extra money, if properly planned.

3.  Quite dithering about gun control and pass legislation that really has an impact, while passing constitutional muster as defined by the current Supreme Court.
