1. Criminal who wants to mass-hurt people would try to hurt group of people who cannot protect themselves.
2. Criminal who wants to mass-hurt people (and ready to die himself) will find a ways to [possibly illegally] acquire means to do that.
Should we disarm everyone in a hope that criminals will stop being criminals?
How many people die of knife wounds from the hands of bad guys vs. from guns? From drunk driving or road rage? Granted it's less CNN news-worthy (not mass enough). Should we stop selling knives? Cars?

2. Criminal who wants to mass-hurt people (and ready to die himself) will find a ways to [possibly illegally] acquire means to do that.

The worst (# deaths) multiple homicides in USA history were arson with no firearm involved.
Let's not be kidding here, e.g. how many people you can stab to death...
Let look into causes and problems that cause more people to die every year.
What CNN front page shows might not be the best guidance to focus on.
