Citizens have been able to legally purchase guns in this country practically from its founding and with much greater ease than we can today yet mass shootings were rare. For the longest time despite having access to purchase a gun the thought of shooting up a restaurant or nightclub much less a church or school was unthinkable to people that has clearly changed. Until people address this shift in or society which now has people committing these acts with seemingly not even a second thought nothing will change.

Drug and Gang Culture expansion in recent decades along with the long running decline of the black family and the Democrat Party are the main factors for these increased mass shoot ups.
Then with the endless doom and gloom propaganda of a bogus Climate Crisis creating despair among the young that push some over the edge.
Its the same thing every time, its literally a closed loop of fascist evil, first your murderous hate filled fascist message found a willing receiver who was more than willing to murder little boys & girls, then they went out and did murder little boys & girls, at which point the fascists who produced that murderous kook, turn it upside down before the bodies have even cooled by attacking Americans and their rights, followed up immediately with discovery that in truth it was a fascist democrat kook who was convinced they were a girl when in fact they had a penis, and testicles hanging between their legs, who perpetrated the horror.... Censor that douche bag!
Might as well blame cars and trucks for all the accidents and deaths caused by their use, makes about as much sense as blaming guns for people shooting people.
Firearms are now the number one cause of death for children in the United States, but rank no higher than fifth in 11 other large and wealthy countries, a new KFF analysis finds.
Guns – including accidental deaths, suicides, and homicides – killed 4,357 children (ages 1-19 years old) in the United States in 2020, or roughly 5.6 per 100,000 children. The U.S. is the only country among its peers that has seen a substantial increase in the rate of child firearm deaths in the last two decades (42%).

In 2020, firearm-related injuries surpassed motor vehicle crashes to become the leading cause of death among children and adolescents in the United States. Dr. Bianchi highlights NICHD-supported research to prevent firearm violence and reduce the related deaths, injuries, and trauma.
In other words, you've just admitted that the problem is idiot tards like you without the intelligence, maturity and discipline to hold a firearm and be TRUSTED with it, just as you cannot be trusted with our elections, running our government or educating our children.
I asked my FFL what he would do when it came to that, and he said that so far no one ever checked that box. Now if it is the law enforcement, they should say "nope not going to allow that person a gun, because they are insane".
Americans have always had fairly easy access to firearms. Historically, gun control laws have been based in racism. Despite the prevalence of guns in our society, these frequent school shootings have been a more recent phenomenon. Why is that? What in society has changed?
If you can answer that question then you have identified the real problem
Go back when Jimmy Carter allowed mentally ill people to with their families instead of locked up in a mental institution where they can be kept safe from themselves and others. Once that happened, those mentally ill people started having more mentally ill people and now those people are in charge of the government. All the recent murders of school children have been by mentally ill people. It all traces back to Jimmy Carter....

Guns have been prevalent since 1791. It’s only been since 1965 that gun violence has escalated to the point where people feel they can shoot innocents and not be stopped. For any of the ugliness in the US up until 1965, there was never a mass shooting of innocents. What changed?

And if one were to look/check, you will see the USA is about 81 on the list of 183 shown here. Note also, the method of violent death is secondary to the total number or percentage of populatuion that is victim. Start by getting your priorities and perspectives correct folks!
But statistics can vary per source. consider what you see here on this scale'
List of countries by intentional homicide rate
As for the thread OP here, one needs to consider that most "children" deaths, those in age range from 1-19 years old, tend to be by handguns/pistols anmd the major source would be related to gang activity/conflicts.
Another case for conflicting statistics will be;
Countries with the Highest Total Gun Deaths (all causes) in 2019
where the USA is second on a list of the top 8 the number/rate of suicide versus homicide isn't factored here; but when looking at "rate", numbers per 100,000;
...
Nearly nine out of 10 people killed by gun violence in 2019 were men. The highest number of homicide deaths occurred among people 20-24 years old, while the highest number of gun-enabled suicides happened among those aged 55-59. Brazil recorded the world's highest number of total gun deaths from all causes combined, with 49,436 out of 250,227 worldwide. The United States has the second-highest number of gun deaths with 37,038.
That said, if one isolates the violent gun deaths and adjusts for population size by expressing the rate as the number of homicides per 100k people, the list changes significantly.

Which types of firearms are most commonly used in gun murders in the U.S.?
In 2020, handguns were involved in 59% of the 13,620 U.S. gun murders and non-negligent manslaughters for which data is available, according to the FBI. Rifles – the category that includes guns sometimes referred to as “assault weapons” – were involved in 3% of firearm murders. Shotguns were involved in 1%. The remainder of gun homicides and non-negligent manslaughters (36%) involved other kinds of firearms or those classified as “type not stated.”
