Make criminal punishment for gun use incredibly harsh, like life with no parole on the first offense.
Deal with the gang problem in a very public and messy manner.

It seems like most of the shooters in these mass-shooting incidents get their guns through legal means. Or through family members who got them through legal means.
There will always be an underground market for guns, and going after gangs is a good thing, but right now getting a gun the legal way is way too easy. Make that close to impossible, and you're average disgruntled teen or employee would give up half way through the process. They might go and try to do the job with a knife, but that sure beats the hell out of doing it with a gun.
