MY $.02.
No loaded guns in public areas. Period. No open carry, no concealed carry.
Any gun carried in public must be unloaded, magazines empty.
On private property you can have your loaded gun.
If you are in an apartment, you can have a loaded gun in the apartment, but not take it into the hall loaded.
A property owner can declare their property a 'loaded guns okay' area or 'no guns - loaded or unloaded' area.
Public hunting grounds - you drive there with guns unloaded, load, hunt, reverse steps after hunting.
Of course it won't stop all shootings - I can't think of anything that would.
It would allow police to stop anyone carrying a gun and inspect it to ensure it is unloaded. Magazines unloaded would take time to load.
Think of any other civilized country where people can parade around with loaded guns...
We have become used to seeing guns among us - we shouldn't.
BTW - I was in Marines in 'Nam - most of my time I was under orders to wear a helmet and flak jacket and have a loaded weapon with me at all times - I don't want America to be like that, not fond memories...
