Not only do I think there would have been a massacre regardless, I think it would have taken more time--and been thus much worse, without guns. The guy would have planned something big, and pulled it off because he cleared all background checks.


I mean that's possible. That's how people make difficult decisions. They make a plan and push uphill unilaterally until they achieve it. It's not some sort of feedback loop where you become emboldened by the affordances of the existing gun market.

If they banned assault rifles, just seeing an assault rifle would mean the guy holding it is a lone gunman or terrorist. Massacres would probably go down.
