No it's not irrelevant. The case has been made repeatedly that restricting private gun ownership eliminates the need for criminals to use firearms in the commission of their crime. That concept was not demonstrated in this case. Just because it does not also demonstrate that firearms ownership would have prevented the crime, well now that
is irrelevant.
Gun control disarms victims. It does not, as this incident shows, disarm criminals.
