I’m getting a sense that there are other steps that could have been taken to prevent this tragedy aside from this video game that features guns.

Do you ever get the sense that it's possible for more than 1 thing to contribute to an event?

Certainly. Hence, steps. Although, video games is probably not where I would begin if we wish to take this problem seriously. It should be part of a complete plan to address violence involving guns.

3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
