The "more gun laws" approach demands that government make it a real effort on the individual's part to obtain possession and ownership of a gun. After all, if we have less people able to obtain guns the chances of them landing in the hands of unstable killers will mitigate the rate at which these mass shootings continue. The reduced rate of mass shootings by stricter gun laws will thus minimize the killings that can take place. The only people who will be able to get guns are those with no felony backgrounds and law enforcement.
The "less gun laws" approach demands that government deregulate its strict gun laws to make it easier for everyone to own and carry a firearm for their protection and the protection of those they are with. This way, it is not just criminals-gone-mental who want an easy target, gang shootings with collateral damage, or cartels that government works with in tandem with black ops (Operations Fast and Furious) that have them, but the passerby's that are exposed to them. In a classic example of the ability to defend oneself and those around them with a firearm, the Clackamas Town Center shooter from Oregon that killed 2 people before killing himself days before the Sandy Hook Elementary killed himself after observing licensed firearm carrier, Nick Meli, hone in on him across the mall from behind a pillar with a pistol while the shooter attempted to un-obstruct his jammed rifle.
When you're not the only one in the building or on the block with a firearm, the threat of an equal on the other side of the "battle field" becomes increasingly significant.
