There are multiple factors there.
American gun mentality. This is very different from other developed countries with more liberal gun rights. Like Swiss or Finland. And that might actually be the main problem. This isn't only about killing sprees but about gun accidents as well.
Another one is that it is far to easy for 'mentally unqualified people' as you put it to get a gun. There's no background check or something like that. It's pretty ridiciculous that you have to get a driving license but no real gunning license.
And there's a far to strong weapons lobby, which of course includes the NRA, with far to much influence. Why haven't bum stocks been banned already for example? Mainly because of a far to influencial lobby.
