Meanwhile, back in reality - we are now up to 249 mass shootings in the US this year - how's that working out for you?
Gun free zones are never going to be effective until the total number of guns is reduced and safety-based gun laws are in place. I've never understood the logic in creating a gun-free island in a sea of guns.

There was not one good man with a gun. Your list doesn't include one incident like what happened up here.
Where one good man with a gun stopped a potential massacre on Parliament Hill. Now that aside.
Think car bombs. If some one can't get a gun or a knife they'll go for car bombs. Can you reduce the number of car bombs and make safety based car bombs and put those laws in place to control car bombs?
You see where I'm going here. Those that commit mass murder will use whatever tool at their disposal. Take away their guns they'll use bombs.
You cannot legislate the crazies among us. In the old days we'd take out "old crazy uncle earl " hunting. There would be an accident. Same with "old uncle bob who touched your cousin". There would be a hunting accident.

Oh bullshit.
The objective of mass shooters is not murder. That's just a side effect. They're after remote-controlled chaos, the rush of power you can only get from strafing the helpless with your automatic metallic penis machine. It's completely about the gun effect. It's completely about the power. The murder aspect is mere coincidence. If it were not so, the victims would not be randomly selected. Think about it for once.
Perhaps a small percentage falls into your descriptive category but I'd say that most mass shooters are simply nutjobs who fear the world and lash out by simply shooting at it. They live in a world of fantasy-driven delusions.
I've owned a "metallic penis machine" for many years but haven't even shot any animals with it. Just targets.
