I don't really think that the existing gun laws are the problem here, this to me is a much wider problem relating to social media, extremism and mental health.
This person was so far down the rabbit hole of depression, and had been consumed by this whole incel nonsense - it was inevitable he was going to have a meltdown. If he hadn't have had access to a gun, he could have done 50 different things to kill just as many people just as easily.
By focusing the discussion squarely on gun laws, it runs the risk of politicians getting distracted, crowbarring in quick fixes which don't solve the root cause and don't provide any actual solutions to the problem in the first place.
It's a bit like when people blame violent video games for these sorts of incidents and start calling for them to be banned. When in reality all it does is derail the discussion away from the deeper problem than needs to be fixed, that has nothing to do with violent video games.
