Perhaps nitpicky, but I believe the potential ban and existing re-categorization of certain types of weapons would only ban 2/5 of the firearms he used.

All of the firearms he used were banned.
Are you sure? I thought the ban only applied to semi-automatic guns, not pump or lever action.
The new restrictions also restrict shotguns with detachable magazines that can hold over a specific number of rounds, but I retract my statement as I have not been able to establish exactly which model of shotgun the perpetrator used.
He also had a lever action rifle although I don't know if he used it
