Most shootings have been done with ‘handguns’ which has seen little regulations from the fed.

Not school/mass shootings, no.
Shootings in general, yes.

Yeah we’re clearly talking about different things here. This dataset does not seem to differentiate between shootings that occurred between specific individuals with a grievance, while technically on school grounds, but likely both outside, and outside of normal school hours, likely gang and drug related, and individuals who choose to go Rambo on nonspecific or at least a large group of people within the school, during normal hours. Which are very different scenarios with very different motivations and potential remedies.
