One wonders what the substitute weapon of choice would turn out to be.

Making it more difficult usually has the salient quality of reducing the incidents. I think a good example is Australia. When they passed their stringent gun control measures, not only did their rate of mass murders drop precipitously, their suicide rate dropped by 2/3rds. Which sort of blows big holes in the argument that those who would commit mass murder and or suicide would just find other means. Guns, especially certain types of guns, makes those things easy. Especially when you can find one most anywhere.
