How do you think we should resolve the issue of school shootings in the US?

Firstly by stopping bitter party-political bickering over the problem and addressing it in a non-partisan way.

Then by rooting out the cultural drives by which violence, especially shooting and the worship of guns, is so taken for granted.

That's not and should not be a political-party matter, but a social one.

There must be something in US society so different from any other developed country. "School shootings" and similar atrocities with no clear purpose, distinct from terrorist, civil-war or drug-gang violence, do occur in other countries but are very rare.

So what is different and how do you deal with it?
