Given that boxcutters and planes were used to cause 9/11, we must outlaw and regulate boxcutters and airplanes as well, as they are very dangerous.

No, we go after the terrorists.

Likewise, in this case, a gun and a very disturbed person.

Go after the disturbed people and the source of their disturbance, often social / family breakdown as well as drugs.

The means to the end should never be the focus of our efforts, but rather, responsibility for actions rests with the people initiating the actions.
