I’m opposed to gun control. But I’m wondering how to get past this hurdle with libs. Are there other countries with the amount of guns as the USA that don’t have these mass shooting problems? Is it a unique American sickness?

    There's no point. School shootings and mass shootings account for like, what, maybe 200 deaths a year, if that? And most of them have no realistic understanding of what full disarmament would cost in terms of bloodshed and lives, or any serious plan to achieve it. You're inevitably arguing against people's gut emotional response to watching children die on 24/7 cable news. If their response is "We must ban guns!" you're not going to argue them out of it.
