Banning anything is irrelevant. Weed is banned and how many millions of people do it? How many people have weapons that are not registered? A hell of a lot. Banning weapons or ammo would make no difference. People will still get them through illegal means.
There are FAR more murders with illegal weapons than ones that are registered. People are the problem, not weapons. Most people that have registered weapons have them for sport, in their homes only for protection, or just enjoy target practice. You think most thugs killing people have registered weapons? They would never get through the approval process.
They do background checks. You have any prior arrests you arent getting approved, yet thugs still get weapons. That will never end, and its the same all around the world. This has nothing to do with laws in the US. This guy is obviously a very rare case.
If he couldnt get guns legally, he could almost as easily got them illegally. It's not hard. He was determined and laws would not have stopped him.
