Comparing terrorist attacks to mass shootings is a bit of a stretch. Its like arguing that planes should be banned because of 9/11
No one is expecting gun control to eliminate shootings, but that doesn't mean you don't try to reduce them if you can.
There are laws against murder too - just because they don't reduce the murder rate to zero doesn't mean that they are useless.
The asinine response from the right on limiting magazine sizes is that "they are taking away your freedom"... utter garbage. Reduction of magazine sizes down to 10 rounds is an easy way of helping.
5-10 seconds to reload at a gun range in an inconvenience...at a mass shooting it could literally save someone's life.
