I don't think so

The only way to control it would have been an outright ban, which I and most are totally against.

I'm against an outright ban, too. But would restrictions on carrying have prevented either one, for instance? Or a requirement that the gun be unloaded? Even the few seconds it took to pick up and insert a magazine might have provided time for second thoughts.
I don't know. I'm asking questions.

In both instances these guys chased them, they want out of their way to drive after these people so they could shoot them. If the minutes it took to do that didn't give them time to think then the few seconds it takes to load a gun won't.
