I do concede that there's a good chance that mass murderers who lack access to gun will move on to vehicular ramming attacks (like in Nice, Charlottesville, or Toronto), but to assume that guns are not even part of the problem when mass shootings have been skyrocketing is disingenuous.

I didn't 'fail' to mention them. I didn't mention them because I was talking in terms of numbers of lives saved. Mass murders are a serious problem, but they are a small number of gun deaths. Of course I'm mortified by mass murders. And I agree with you that people feeling homicidal rage will turn to other things if they don't have access to guns. I am actually more afraid of what other things they might turn to, some of which can rack up a much higher body count. For example, no mass shooter has managed to rack up the body count that Timothy McVeigh did.
