Those extreme acts happen because of social conditions. Having access to guns does make them worse but they shouldn't happen in the first place. The problem with mass shootings isn't guns, it's the people who malfunction. The solution isn't to ban guns but to improve social programs. The only thing banning guns does is make resisting the other people with guns, whether police or criminal, a lot more difficult.
