Personally, I wouldn't mind if reasonable limits were placed on what all a person can own.
Honestly, I'm a lot more concerned about how the hell someone gets this deranged without someone noticing rather than how many guns he got his hands on. After all, if it wasn't guns then all he had to do was get a U-Haul and load it with ANFO and a remote triggered detonator. And don't forget that there's been some particularly nasty incidents that have occurred in other countries that did not involve guns. Japan in particular jumps to mind, where a deranged man used a box-truck to run down people in a square and then went on to stab a few more with a knife.
Simply put, taking the guns away is not going to make people like this go away. They'll simply find more creative ways to make their feelings known, and it's going to be a lot more impersonal and indiscriminate than a bullet from a gun.
