What can be done? How can it be done? Asylums? Who will ascertain who is the potentially dangerous criminally insane? A very difficult situation.

Remove guns and weapons from all homes? Do not sell new ones? That means that people with a moral compass will give up their weapons and not buy new ones.

Pass a law about AK47s? Most people would agree with that, but hard liners of the second amendment would not.

We have tried to work hard and save and buy homes in safe parts of the world. Never felt the need to be armed, but that is changing for the older people who do not hit hard, run fast and even get out of chairs quickly.

This is very complex. This is far more than political. Thou shalt not kill, unless someone is trying to badly harm you or your family. My mother said that and I believe it. My mother would not recognize THIS world.
