As to the OP doubt it - its up to the adults to bring change but whilst the gun lobby is so powerful and they have Presidents that are unwilling to take them on change will not happen.
Interesting that even as they were interviewing after this latest shooting one of the parents said ' this wouldn't have happened if the teachers were armed'!! Frightening thought!

100,000's of innocent people have died, so I doubt it Bob.
What happened in Florida this week, was the 19th school shooting this year, and as the Senator said, we are still only half way through February.
My best guess of what will happen in the next day or so, is that there will be a candle lit vigil, or something similar. Various politicians will make speeches, and then it will all be forgotten about until next week, or the week after, when the next mass murder will occur.
I can't see any way out of this situation, unless the American people rise up and actually do something.
A chilling prophesy perhaps, but a realistic one nevertheless.

I know a Brit living in the US who has a Handgun in his house. Purely on the basis that an intruder in all likelihood will be be armed. How many US citizens are armed for similar reasons, the attached gives a frightening statistic on gun ownership across the world in particular the US.

I have just looked at those statistics for gun ownership in different countries. They may be somewhat misleading. For instance, all Swiss reservists, men who have done National Service ( and maybe now women too) have to keep a firearm ( in a locked safe place ) at home, ready to defend their country's neutrality. Other countries may well have reservists in a similar position, so the statistics may look unexpected.
