It is too late for the gun crowd to come in with the "yes, but..." lines.

People are dead because the wrong people had access to guns and used them.

The only question is if we want our country's per capita gun death statistics to more resemble those of Syria or those of Denmark? The NRA is rooting for Syria. So far, they are getting their wish.
