Basically it's a messed up situation all around and it's unlikely to change. There will be another mass shooting in 2-3 months, there will be another Columbine eventually and there's not much to stop it.

While you are right, there isn't much that will be done in the way of legislation, there is no need to worry. 

Homicide rates (including firearm homicide rates) in general have declined over the last 30 years. The media loves to sensationalize things. 

The same is true for violent crime. 

 

This is true despite less restrictive laws in the states, and more guns overall.
