I can understand the notion of wanting to have the ability to have a gun if you want. However there should at the very minimum be a limit on the amount of ammo that a person is allowed to buy and that they have to go to specific places to go to buy it.
If someone buys a ton of bullets like this, it should be a red flag. If you want that much ammo, you can buy it on location of a shooting range to be used at the shooting range.

There's unfortunately narratives that the US will go down, terrorism is a true narrative, but will always be the first and quickest because it fits in with "the bad guys who aren't like us!!". Gun culture and ease of access is the constant in mass shootings, but that narrative is quickly squashed out in favor of other "issues" due to the money behind guns.
Despite the high casualty rate and the unbelievable ease with which the tragedy was carried out this will be an easy one for the gun backers as it has the "the bad guys" angle, and unfortunately it will just be Muslim Americans that pay for this.
The closest the US gun backers came to squirming from a mass shooting was Sandy Hook, as it didn't have the easy narratives to get away from guns AND it had 20+ kids dead and a fuming population. They got through that, now they can get through anything.
