I think this is the result of a culture in which they’re looking for ways to do more

All gun control is about controlling the actions of citizens who already abide by the law.

Poverty, unemployment, drug abuse, mental health, and income inequality are the causes of gun violence. Treat those root causes, and it doesn't matter how many guns there are.

If gun ownership directly translated to gun violence, Finland and Switzerland would have many times the rates of gun violence as the US. In those countries, the total number of guns owned might be smaller, but the overall percentage of people who own guns is nearly 100%. Those countries don't have the same problems with gun violence because they address the real root causes of gun violence.
