If guns were banned, this nutcase would have done it with a knife or a chainsaw or a baseball bat. ANYTHING can be made a weapon. It's been done since the beginning of time when our great-to-the-Nth grandparents bashed each others' skulls in with rocks.

Comparison: Efforts at nuclear nonproliferation to keep "rogue nations" and "terrorist groups" from being able to kill en masse. Al Qaeda is (as a result of nuclear non-proliferation) unable to procure a nuclear weapon. So they find a creative way to kill a whole bunch of people with the means they DO have at their disposal (suicide bombers, truck bombs, airplanes, etc.) This is no different, just on a smaller scale. It'll ALWAYS be possible for deranged people to kill - and kill en masse - and kill en masse EFFECTIVELY with or without a given piece of technology.

The guns aren't the problem. The nutcases are the problem - with or without the guns.
