Honestly whether or not the attacker had a gun wouldn't have mattered.
What mattered is this fucker clearly had the intent to kill, and had no qualms about the consequences of doing so; he would have went to any lengths to do this(he literally called the police and bragged about it). Making explosives and bombing up everyone or using some other form of improvised weaponry would have had fairly similar results. I don't think it'd be fair to remove everyone's right to own guns in fear of shitheads like this because it will not go very far to stop them from doing it other ways anyway. I'm not gonna bring up the whole ''guns are necessary for self-defense!'' argument but people should have the right to have firearms(although I think they should have psychological and background checks and have permits for them at all times).
