Can you explain how common sense gun laws and better funding for all social services, education and additional funding for mental health support would not help these issues?

the other aspects you mentioned would have much more of an impact overall than basically any gun laws. more gun laws always gives more power to the system, the same system who have plenty of guns protecting them anyway (ironically) and to those who the system has already deemed dont have a right to help you. plus those who you dont want to have guns will end up getting them anyway, especially in the age of the internet and 3d printing or will turn to other methods which can have even more horrid results if they have to get creative. it doesnt stop the act, it just shifts it while keeping normal citizens at a constant disadvantage to everything.

you fight the problem by getting rid of the intent through the other options you mentioned. happy people who feel theres purpose in their life and can get help when they need it do not murder school children and those who are severely mentally compromised can be looked after properly.
