That is the traditional response to a Muslim mass murder: disarm law-abiding citizens so they cannot defend themselves. Even if the terrorists didn't use guns, they still try to make sure we cannot defend ourselves with firearms.

EU countries finally accepted the Commission’s proposal to strengthen firearms regulations on Tuesday (20 December), after the executive agreed on a number of compromises. EurActiv France reports.
Presented in the wake of the Paris terrorist attacks on 13 November 2015, the revised firearms directive was the subject of long and tortuous negotiations.
It led to a widespread mobilization of pro-firearms lobbies across Europe, supported by politicians on the extreme right, the center-right and the political center. […]
The executive originally wanted a complete ban on the most dangerous semi-automatic weapons, including assault rifles like the AK47 and the AR15.

Possession of a weapon with a magazine that can hold more than 20 rounds will now be illegal… but not for sport shooters or hunters in certain countries.

How’s this for a compromise. Dissolve the EU.
Every time a psychotic person mass murders, they come after me, the law-abiding citizen. Weird!
That wounds like the Carabinieri as I knew and loved them.

Why really they working on gun bans when the Islamists have clearly moved onto trucks?
Really stupid people over there.
"Because you can't just ban trucks, duh." ~ Morning Joe
However, arbitrarily banning guns makes perfect sense to these jackasses. Like you said, really stupid people.
Politicians don’t want to ban guns to make society safer, they want to ban guns to make politicians safer.
Compromising with bad policy is like adding a little sewage to your drinking water.
