A right-winger I used to know said, This is because mass shootings themselves are rare [Thank Goodness!]. And it’s hard to prevent something if it’s already rare. Okay, he probably has a logical point as far as it goes.And keep in mind that law enforcement has a high percentage of gun ownership, as required by their job, yet we don't see them having a mass shooting problem.
But—
It may happen often enough to be worth doing something about it. Especially if we can figure out some wise things to do, including feeling okay about the trade offs.
