There is nothing that can be done about gun ownership in the United States, and frankly I think blaming firearms entirely misses the root cause of gun crime: A culture of criminality amongst certain cross sections of society, backed up by poverty and poor education.
Most gun crime does not involve legally acquired firearms. If the US wants to dent their gun crime statistics, the best thing they can do is to make a huge investment in breaking the cycle of criminality that runs through those sections of society.
Of course that wouldn't stop events like this. But the truth is that there is nothing to be done about these type of events. You don't need a gun to kill someone.
