If someone is contemplating such an act they aren't going to be dissuaded by gun laws. If one decides to do this in Arizona then there are likely to be armed folks around who could put a stop to him. That doesn't happen in a society that does not allow it's citizens the right to bear firearms. In such situations they are basically sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Its mad, quite simply. Its been seen many times when mentally unstable people have gone on a rampage with guns, I'm sure you all remember the Virginia tech killings...
I'm glad you brought that up. There was already a campus wide ban on the possession of firearms, but that did not stop him. It did ensure however that his victims would not be able to.
