Ah you're distinguishing serial vs mass murderers - like the occasional school shooters. Such mass murders are pretty rare. Banning guns, even apart from the constitutional problem, would be going overboard as a way of responding to mass murders. Furthermore its effectively impossible to disarm American society, which is what you'd have to do to make "gun control" effective. I'll relate a story to you told to me by my first wife. She was once driving at night to visit a sister in Va Beach. She stopped at a gas station / convenience store and noticed a guy looking at her while there. After she left and was driving through a rural area, the guy she'd seen followed her and tried to force her off the road. She happened to have a small handgun and she turned on the light inside her car, let the guy pull along beside her and pointed it at him mouthing a threat. When the guy saw the gun pointed at him, he slammed on his brakes, she drove on and never saw the guy again. Now why would you want to deny people the right to protect themselves in this way?
