They will. For starters this isn't limited to ghetto people getting shot, kids at well off predominately white schools have been shot. Meaning this could happen to anyone, and yes there will be action.
They will?
Columbine happened almost 20 years ago.

Kids are our future, yet we continue to fail to educate them. Just look where we rank globally. Maybe our non-stop growing power-hungary centralized federal government should concentrate on something as basic as schooling first before they take over all other facets of life.
In the early 1980's "financialization" began to gain steam. Commerical banks in the US provided almost as many loans to industrial and commercial enterprises as they did in real estate and consumer loans, at the ratio of 80%. By the end of the 90's it was 52%. By 2005 it was only 28%. As a result, lending to small business fell particularly sharply. This lack of lending to productive financial activities has resulted in an economy that largely makes it's money on borrowing and other financial schemes rather than by innovation and productivity. We offer the appearance of growth rather than actual growth.
It goes on and on and I'm only in the introduction of "Movers and Takers" but the short of it; the financial sector has completely distorted the US economy in schemes that are not good for people or businesses outside of the actual financial sector.
The only way to stop these shootings is to have properly trained security force at the schools and nobody wants to pay for that. Gun laws doesn't stop gun trafficking.
In Israel they would had the teenage shooter shot and killed quickly and he probably would had to bunker himself to prevent being shot to death. This is an example of where Israelis are prepared as a nation to combat terrorism that can happen any time any where.
Some liberals will say, this isn't Israel and there are no terrorists here. Well, we're entering a new world of domestic terrorism.
Americans are just too insulated from domestic terrorism, calling on even tougher gun laws is typical liberal narrow minded thinking of solving complex real world problems.

You'd be more intelligent if you stopped thinking everything in binary terms - if you think there are only "liberal" and "republican" viewpoints on any subject you miss the half of it.
Get down to the preppers board where in contrast to your notion that taking away guns is a liberal move they think taking away guns is a Hitler move. Hitler, the well known liberal.
This simple-minded binary thinking leads you to say things like "the only way to stop these shootings...." and come up with a one-dimensional theory.

The federal government simply uses financial institutions as another public utility. This distortion is at the direction of government. Big progressive government.

Israel is basically a police state. Owning a gun requires mandatory background check, mental health check, annual training, and a limit on how many bullets one can purchase per year.
Ironic to hear the same crowd that decries the US "police state" turn and praise Israel.

No it's not! This has a long history starting at the civil war. You know who caused the great depression? National Citibank of New York. Why? Because they comingled consumer banking with riskier ventures. That is why Regulation Q and Glass Steagall were enacted. As soon as it was lifted, same stuff, different day.
The origin of the banking industry was to support businesses, support growth in the economy. They weren't supposed to be an industry into itself where their lending and trading was incestuous and have nothing to actually do with productive business. We are seeing the same economy as a result of it.
