Millions of people play video games and RPGs and don't go out and kill people. There are also people who kill other people, who don't play violent video games. And you forgot the whole "oh they listen to death metal" rhetoric.
That's stuff and nonsense, propaganda created by the NRA to put the blame on anything except where it belongs: on lack of enforcement of existing gun laws, and gun laws that are not universal, thus allowing anyone to get a gun simply by crossing state lines.

Certainly think we need tougher guns and much more intelligent handling of restrictions on who can get a gun with a very heavy emphasis on context. The FACTS of each case should be the guide and not some bureaucratic check-list. People are too quick to seek simplistic answers that make good bumper stickers.
Will be interesting to see the details of the shooter in this case. Each seems to be different from the next.
