It's still happening in Canada with gun control. Just 50% less according to what I just said in the above paragraph and according to the 20 were shot (different incidents?) on the same day comment.
So control kinda helps but I wouldn't say it would stop a motivated individual.

it also takes weeks/months to obtain a fire arm license here. So some 'motivated individual' would have to pass a course, when one opens, then pass the test (which is expensive). Once this 'motivated' individual passes all that and buys a rifle (hand guns are more tests) they will have to travel around with it separated from amo, locked in a trunk or risk jail time.
Then after all that? they can decide to be crazy and shoot their single shooting rifle all they want. But after all that it seems like a bit of a waist for 99.9% of the entire population. So the rest is stolen rifles and extremely modest gang violence.
but yeah.. only 'kinda helps' right?
