Let's take a look at what guns the guy had.  First a semiautomatic 9 mm Glock 19.  Second, another semiautomatic gun the .22 caliber Walther P22.

 Not all crazy people are built alike.  It would be very hard to predict which are going to go on a massive shooting spree (not unlike predicting what stock is going up or down over the short term).  

 This proves that more gun control is necessary.  If the guy was trying to walk around campus with a rifle I doubt he would have gotten very far.
