Most shootings are either based in racism, class struggle, or mental circumstance; this goes from armies to cops to school shooters. Most school shooters in the US wouldn't have picked up arms if American culture tackled racism instead of embracing it, if the world were more equal for all, and if people weren't so often ridiculed and bullied.

The answers to all of these, as usual, can't realistically be found in liberal or conservative politics, so I suppose the generic answer I can offer is 'socialism but not the brocialist kind' as to give a world less likely to push people to these things. Of course, I also think gun violence shouldn't be tackled specifically, but instead violence itself regardless of the tool.

These probably aren't the best answers I can give, its not a topic I've specifically researched and I'd need to hear more not-liberals give a stance on it before I declare something definitively to be what I think is right.
