Too bad there wasn't a good guy with a gun to deal with the threat.

The obvious solution to this is arming school buses with 50 caliber machine guns and rocket launchers /s
How those shit like this happen in the USA
People keep stating homiciderates rather then situations involving firearms with or without lethal results.

Don't forget the aircraft support.
If there was a ban, where would they find these guns? The don't grow in fields or something. They'd need to be manufactured and smuggled in, which would dramatically raise the cost of the gun, probably outside the reach of felon gangbangers. That's how gun bans work, we've seen it in every country that has done so. There, of course, would still be some criminals with the means to purchase an illegal firearm, but most gun crime would diminish greatly. The only issue is, with the number of guns in America, it would be a next to impossible undertaking to ban guns and collect all firearms.
(Note: I'm not advocating for a ban, but to suggest that a ban would do nothing, is just dishonest.)

NRA logic: More people need guns to prevent things like this. Preferably everyone should have two guns, so he can keep both shooters under control.
I think you are overestimating how difficult it is to make a firearm... A couple thousand in machining tools can let you manufacture a firearm in the comfort of your own home... Criminals would turn to this (not make the guns themselves, but turn to criminal manufacturers), they would still have plenty of guns available.
Also, with how many illegal drugs flood over our borders, you know damn well firearms would be right alongside them if there was demand for it, and there would be.

neither, they were both already criminals before this event even occurred.
A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don’t have one, you’ll probably never need one again.

I hope they both lose their right to own guns from this bullshit. So many lives were put at risk by this it isn't even funny.

I hope you're being intentionally obtuse by equating policing illegal ownership of guns, that are as common as candy, to policing the actual manufacturing of firearms.
Illegal drugs 'flood' over pretty much every border in the world but no country has a gun problem remotely similar to the US. Of course there would still be firearms and some criminals would still have them but considering no country produces as many guns as the US, a total ban would drastically decrease the availability and significantly increase the cost (not just for the US either). Regardless of how many were smuggled in it would be, just plain and simple, harder to obtain a gun AND easier to police.
not one child on that bus had access to a fire arm to stop the armed men??
