Jim Wright, once again, nails the matter on the head. If you own a device designed to kill, then you are responsible for making sure that doesn’t happen. (Heck, we have a legal framework of responsibility at that level for devices we own that aren’t designed to kill.)
That’s not a final, ultimate solution for gun violence, but, as Wright points out, drunk driving laws aren’t a final, ultimate solution for DUI fatalities — but nobody suggests that they are useless or should be abolished.

I think liability insurance would straighten things out about 90% right there. I'm pretty sure the guy who gave his son back his guns and then the kid went and shot up a Waffle House would have thought twice about it if he knew that doing that would triple his insurance premiums….
