The fact is, we will never know how many lives could have or could not have been saved. What ifs can only do us so much. How many others could have been hit if that someone was armed and shot other people instead of the armed shooter?
The question is, why do other countries that have strict gun control have less issues or less horrific incidents than the United States? When criminals disobey laws to obtain the weaponry they want, what is working for other countries that isn't working in the United States?

Unless you're talking about a different incident as I haven't heard of anything else happening in California, this is -not- what happened in Los Angeles. He wasn't a member of Daesh. James Howell (reportedly bi, he at least had an ex-boyfriend) was found in a car, heavily armed, after he police started looking for him because someone reported his suspicious behavior. He hasn't said if he had any motives to attack the event, just attend.
