How many legal and responsible car owners have killed innocent police officers and pedestrians in the past few days? I'm guessing alot more than 20 people. Well, I guess the solution is to ban all cars.
How many legal and responsible doctors have killed their patients through mis-diagnosis etc...? Probably more than 20. Let's ban doctors.

Again, we go back to the pros/cons thing I mentioned before.
Clearly the benefits we get out of cars are worth the accidents.
Clearly having doctors is worth the misdiagnosis.
I, and many, many, many others are are not sold that assault rifles are worth the mass murders.

As for tighter gun control, homocide rates were going up and up until strict gun control legislation was passed and then it has been declining....
Major gun control bills have been tightening and tightening access to guns. C-150 in 1969, C-51 in 1977, C-17 in 1991, C-68 in 1995.... so your initial suggestion that we've seen MORE homicides is wrong, your new suggestion that it stays about the same is wrong.. would you like to change your story again?
