You either ban all guns, or forget about changing the laws that exist now. No amount of lesser guns will fix the problem of using a weapon of some sort to injure or kill another person.
Just imagine a similar situation, but pretend the shooter lived for guns and was an ace shot, but was using a normal everyday, non auto, non semi auto weapon, that was purchased on the black market, and only managed to kill 25 people and injure 50. Would this be ok?
No. Yet people would still be screaming to ban those specific types of guns, or ban guns altogether.
This situation has very little to do with guns, of any type, and everything to do with this man's state of mind. Since he clearly planned and decided to take a bunch of people's lives for whatever reason, he would have found another way if he could not use a gun.
Envision the day that guns and blades no longer exist in the public's hands. Yet you continue to see the same type of events occurring due to mass stabbings with knives. Are we going to make it a nightmare for a chef or everyday person to get their hands on a knife just because a few people decided to use them as a weapon against another person?
This incident is terrible, and I feel horrible for those poor people, but I don't feel anymore sorry for them then I do for people who are killed by drunk drivers. Should we ban alcohol? Vehicles?
The answer isn't taking away potential weapons, it's about the people who may use them. This of course is something that is almost impossible to solve 100% unfortunately. It is however where everyone's focus should be.
