Sorry to be a downer, but...

I think you could have the Dems in control of the Senate, the lower house, and the White House, and progress towards gun control would still be slow and might be many more years.

There is no one quick fix here. There is a legislative component, a cultural/social component, and also there is social policy around mental health that needs to be addressed.

Problem also is, if you could magically change the laws tomorrow, you'd still have literally hundreds of millions of assault weapons and other guns out there for use.

I fear that mass shootings are a permanent feature of life in the western world and none of us will live to see a day when they are a rare thing.

But we must take heart and be realistic. Even as there has been a spike in mass shootings in recent decades, violent crime and homicide in North America has declined steadily since world war 2
