That’s besides the point. The shooter was clearly a deranged person acting under demonic influence. That much is clear by what was in his journal. Prayer is very much part of the solution here. This was not ideologically motivated like people think. It’s not a right vs left issue. The battle is spiritual. Our society is sick. No amount of gun control control or cultural win over leftists is going to fix this problem.

Yes you do. Important. I'm in New Zealand, we had actually very relaxed gun laws until the Christchurch mosque got attacked. The govt outlawed assault rifles etc and had a gun buyback. There has been more gun crime since this incident, though not likely causation (as we are unable to purchase guns for self defense explicitly). All it does is limit people who are already law abiding citizens. Meanwhile, criminals will do criminal things.
