If it works just that one time, then its a success. Thats 14 people who would still be alive, and countless others who would be spared suffering. Same goes for other cases of American massacres like Virginia Tech and Columbine.
An out right ban on any gun not used for hunting is the only way to go. All the people who say that having a gun as self defense need to re think that.
I would speculate that there are far more cases of peoples legally obtained fire arms being stolen then re-sold and then used in violent crimes than there are of some guy grabbing his gun and chasing a theif away.
