No just another reason to enforce our current laws and regulations.The man is apparently not right in the head,he killed his own mother and family.
I again ask you to review what happened in your own hometown of Gun Town USA.
Yet another reason to permit the 2nd Amendment to go un-infringed

25 years murder-free
in 'Gun Town USA'
Crime rate plummeted after law
required firearms for residents
As the nation debates whether more guns or fewer can prevent tragedies like the Virginia Tech Massacre, a notable anniversary passed last month in a Georgia town that witnessed a dramatic plunge in crime and violence after mandating residents to own firearms.
In March 1982, 25 years ago, the small town of Kennesaw – responding to a handgun ban in Morton Grove, Ill. – unanimously passed an ordinance requiring each head of household to own and maintain a gun. Since then, despite dire predictions of "Wild West" showdowns and increased violence and accidents, not a single resident has been involved in a fatal shooting – as a victim, attacker or defender.
The crime rate initially plummeted for several years after the passage of the ordinance, with the 2005 per capita crime rate actually significantly lower than it was in 1981, the year before passage of the law.
Prior to enactment of the law, Kennesaw had a population of just 5,242 but a crime rate significantly higher (4,332 per 100,000) than the national average (3,899 per 100,000). The latest statistics available – for the year 2005 – show the rate at 2,027 per 100,000. Meanwhile, the population has skyrocketed to 28,189.

He may not have been right in the head obviously, but if there was an assualt weapon ban in place, he may not have been able to acquire that automatic weapon he used to kill everyone.
Then he would have used a hand gun,shot gun,knife,rock, bat or his bare hands......
The laws try to prevent the mentally ill from getting any weapon the fact that if someone want to commit murder they are period.

every one need to remember that guns to not kill people.
People kill people.
the every day gun owner who never has a problem with the law is not the problem. the problem is the gun owners who are up to no good. they are the ones who are ruining it for every one else.
and just or the record i am not a gun owner nor do i plan on being one.

If you had a gun of your own you would also have that chance.
Moot point.
