It would help but it definitely wouldn't stop mass murders with guns. It would, unfortunately, be way too easy to kill many people with a bolt action and multiple magazines in the scenario that happened yesterday (shooting from a roof).
The collective American psyche has to change about gun ownership starting with background checks. Even if semi autos were banned today there would be tens of millions of them that will never be turned in.
