If the question is simply would making it impossible to legally obtain or own a gun lower he number of mass shootings, I think that answer is yes. In that scenario, guns would continually be seized over time. Would that number be higher than the amount of illegal guns being obtained?Maybe, but I don't think the demand for illegal guns would be as high as illegal drugs are currently, plus the logistics of moving weapons is more difficult than moving drugs. I'm using drugs as a reference point of illegal activity even though it is kind of comparing apples to oranges.
While a black market would certainly thrive, I also believe people would start using other methods of killing people that were more easily accessible.
