Courage. If nothing happened after Sandy Hook, nothing will happen unless someone really decides that enough is enough.
But what exactly is enough? Unless we have a solution to this horrendous problem, the current state of affairs will not subside. Just shouting “ban assult rifles” will not solve the problem. We need an elaborte plan reasoned by principle rather than by analogy.
What does it take for something to be done about these mass shootings that just keep happening?

Out of curiosity: how are Norway's gun control laws: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Norway_attacks All it takes is one dangerous idiot and/or fanatic.

Australia banned guns after a mass shooting in 1996. They've haven't had a mass shooting since.

The real problem is people. You can talk about gun control all you want but evil is a people problem—not a gun problem.

There isn't an easy solution for this type of thing. They will keep happening no matter what you do to try and stop them. Gun control will probably help halt the ones that happen as an impulsive action, but there's no regulation that will stop a terrorist from achieving their goal.
Clearly there is since there's only one "civilised" country that experiences anywhere near this order of magnitude of mass shootings.

That's why I mentioned gun control. This won't stop everybody though. Here in the Netherlands we have tight gun control and we still had a mass shooting with licensed guns. Also, we've seen many attacks in Europe recently with illegally imported guns.
The key word here though is "a". The US is on 273 this year alone.
