Per usual, one must ask what new law would have prevented this. The guy shouldn't have been able to purchase the guns, as he had a felony-equivalent court-marshall involving domestic violence, but the military failed to put him in the database which allowed him to pass the background checks.
Additionally good civilians with guns might or might not have (depending on the specifics -- they are currently vague) prevented even greater loss of life when they pursued this guy.
If anything, this incident shows us the limits of gun-control legislation when it comes to preventing mass shootings.
