The point is that the same thing will happen. Murder is already banned by law, yet it still happens. Try controlling/banning guns, and you'll get the same result: gun homicides/crimes will still happen.
Another reminder that these shootings happen in spaces where guns are ALREADY ILLEGAL to begin with (when talking about schools)...

BTW, more people in the US are killed by obesity (#1 killer in the US), should we ban fast food? Require exercise, fine those that don't meet a base maximum bodyfat percentage? More people are killed while driving, should we ban cars? More human lives would be saved by Either of those options than by allowing a Government to reach even further into Tyranny than they do already.
Better to address the problem than slap a bandaid on the result.
How about regulating sugar content, the most addictive substance known to man and the root cause of the obesity epidemic? That will never happen, because billions upon untold billions are being made through addicting consumers to sugar for life. Not a huge difference between that and the firearms industry which feeds on the lust for violence, or the old school heroin market for that matter.
