Yes. Gun control is too contentious an issue in USA and any effort to curb the widespread ownership of guns will simply cause friction between political opponents while ensuring the bad guy to good guy ratio is shifting ever more in favour of the bad guy.
And if you think throwing money at mental health research, facilities and treatment is going to make a blind bit of difference, you're living in a dream world.
Arming teachers is a deterrant. It might just work.
