That's an easy generic thing to say but banning one type of gun isn't going to make guns in general less available.
And these mass killings are a fringe thing... They aren't typical of American gun violence which in the vast majority of cases is with either a pistol or a shotgun and is either domestic/personal or gang related
I think an effective gun registry system could do more to prevent legal guns from leaking onto the black market which is what contributes to the gang killings.. which I think is a much bigger problem than these random mass shooters but just not as dramatic or juicy of a news story.
