So the kids not even old enough to own a gun and got his hands on a gun we do not know the origin of. Can't really have any discussion about gun control when we don't know the facts.

We do know how he got the guns… He stole them from his dad, who obtained them legally. He used a shotgun and a .38, so the "MUH AR-15" argument that most people usually default to doesn't work here. He was also allowed to walk into a classroom, wearing a trenchcoat with communist and Nazi symbols on it, with no one finding that strange.

I'd say to just ban guns. Idk how children are getting guns but this needs to change.

How do you ban guns though? You mean to make them illegal? What happens to all of the guns that are currently in circulation? When you make something illegal, it's only as impactful as the society around it allows it to be: our culture is very desensitized and violent, and criminals literally don't care what is or isn't illegal (because they're criminals). Murder being illegal didn't stop this kid.
It's a cultural issue, mental health issue, parenting/responsibility issue, and, in the case of guns that fire at a rate that no human needs to be allowed to, a gun issue.
